How or do i treat it ? Should i go from .75 units to 1. Units ? Or wait some more days ?

Tina - if it's not too much trouble, could you add Salem's name to your subject line?

I'd also give Salem a teaspoon of LC food. That was a big drop in numbers. Some LC may slow things down a little bit. I'd also suggest testing by no later than an hour.
Oops i fixed it sorry was doing it forgot lol
 
...
i found this on line so i think according to this .3 mm is non-ketonic , Correct ?

as non-ketotic (n=3), ketotic (n=40) or ketoacidotic (n=11
 
Ketones are in normal limits for a meter. When over 2.44 is when a vet visit is needed. Make sure enough fluids are getting in, Salem is eating and you don't miss insulin shots.
 
Since your question has been answered, Tina, could you please remove the “?” and “help” part of the subject line? Unless you have another question :) Thank you!
 
:(Hes going up again so i think im going up to 1. Unit in his PMPS ? What do yall think ? Dnt like him going up scared of DKA. Hes depot is less this time when before it was 1.25 so i think its safe to go back up to 1 unit tonight . Hes just eating all day off and in but its getting higher i think .25 increase is ok. Hey Sandi if your out there ? Hope you are doing ok .

Tina, I'm going to tag @Marje and Gracie to help you get your SS dates fixed up. Marje is an expert at helping us get our new spreadsheets working properly...hope you don't mind.

Ok i got it fixed deleted the old one sorry thats was the mess i woke up to and i just copied and pasted another til i got it fixed forgot to fix the link . I just tried it it should be ok now .
 
I'd encourage you to review the TR protocol.

Increasing the dose:
  • Hold the dose for 3 - 5 days (6 - 10 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are less than 200 before increasing the dose by 0.25 unit.
    • if your cat is new to numbers under 200, it is recommended to hold the dose for at least 8-10 cycles before increasing.
    • when your cat starts to see nadirs under 100, hold the dose for at least 10 cycles before increasing.
  • Increase by 0.25 unit after 3 days (6 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are greater than 200, but less than 300.
  • Increase by 0.5 unit after 3 days (6 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are greater than 300.
I bolded the information that's relevant. Salem has been at the 0.75u dose for 11 cycles. His nadirs, at least during the AM cycles have been in the 100s. You could have increased the dose this morning.
