Please read comments in yesterdays post.

I was holding off on increasing her dose in case the recent high numbers were a bounce from 1/30 low numbers that night. I was told it can take six cycles to clear a bounce. It's been six cycles. I know she needs more insulin, what I don't understand is how she can have great numbers, need reductions, then sky rocket back to 300s. I know it's part of having diabetes, but yesterday I was told she's getting too little carbs. I was thinking finally i'm doing things right, then bam! Once again, i'm doing things wrong. So, now what? I feel like I have to start over. Please read the comments from yesterday. I posted a couple pictures of the food i'm feeding her (FF pate seafood and beef and poultry 0-3 carbs) and the food I was thinking about switching her to (FF flaked ect 4-6 carbs) I never got a response as to whether or not this was a good decision. I want to make sure she's getting enough carbs before I increase her dose so she isn't consistently getting reductions before she's actually ready for them...Please help me decide what to do next :D
 
I think switching to a food with a slightly higher carb % is worth a try. Make sure to be consistent and also that you give the change a few days to settle in before considering an increase. If the 4-6% range doesn’t improve things then you can try something slightly higher. Anything under 10% is considered low carb. Good luck!

Okay I can go up today after work and get the ff flakes. I'll just print out the food list and bring it with me. So I'll wait like say, three days or so on the new food and increase to .25? I will post here of course before doing that but just asking in advance because I like to think too much

The numbers will be your guide. :cool:
