Please, I really struggle with numbers learning disability. My inability to edit SS reflects it but the numbers are accurate.
I dont understand why noone is responding.
Am I posting incorrectly?
Im worried and frustrated

Been putting off this post because I really feel foolish.
But I could use some advice.
My earlier post was about BG readings that went from the 300's to 42 last Thursday.
Gave Rusty some honey but, number went up too high too quickly, I quess, to be hypoglycemic.
Assumed it was meter as I was having trouble with it, showing error message and I was having to test twice each time.
Didnt give Rusty thursday night shot just to be safe and, on Friday morning his BG was as low as it had been in 12 days, without earlier evening shot!
Oh, got a new meter!
Rusty has been on 5-6 Units, I know, thats alot, but, that was Vets original dose.
I experimented Friday with 1U and BG was high (300's) BUT more steady & consistent then ever before. Ive continued with 1U
My question(s):
Is this a good time to start at 1U & increase untill I get better readings? If so, would you mind coaching me through it abit?
Thanks. I really am so relieved to have found this board and to read the compassion and expertise in members posts

If you could update your spreadsheet it will be easier to give dosing advice.
 
Right click on the row number (in this case 179)

Choose "delete row"

That 69 is a really step drop. You didn't take a second reading by any chance? It seems like too quick of a drop... Makes me wonder if it's a wacky strip. Did you take any any other reasons after that one?

Hi Janet Thanks for responding
I did buy a new meter Friday.

After 69 BG reading, 3 hours later: BG 282
Similar to what happened Thursday

ok well lower the dose just that little bit for a few days. If it's not bringing him down enough you can always go back to 1... Or do a "skinny" 1 (just barely under the 1 line). 69 is a perfectly fine number on a human meter. It would be a little low on a pet meter. Normal on a human meter is 50-120.
