Can someone review my SS (newly diagnosed)

Remember meter variance; 195 isn't much different than 221 or 245. He probably could have had the full dose.

Rats! One point difference and he'd still be in the pink

Hi Shelley! Nice to meet you. For Max, I’ll be happy to never see a black again! Those are the ones that scare me. This definitely tests my patience.

@Deb & Wink , what is this cat doing?? His PMPS is 165. I fed him, but not sure about giving him insulin. Is it possible his pancreas is doing magical things?? He even seemed more active today

Next time, stall without feeding for 20 minutes, to see if the BG levels are rising. Elizabeth is right, that 195 is close enough to 200 that you could have shot the full dose.
Stall Please, no food, and retest in 20 minutes. Darn, I see you already fed him.
How long ago did you feed him?
Can you test him again right now? and let us know how long it's been?

Sorry, I chickened out this morning. I am petrified about hypo. Had to run an errand tonight, so should I hold off on insulin tonight or shoot in an hour? Tomorrow, if he’s the same (under 200) stall 20 mins. If it’s not going up, what do I do? If it’s going up, then I feed and shoot reg dosage?

Shoot in 1 hour would be my suggestion for tonight. The BG levels SHOULD be high enough by then, but test first to make sure. Remember, there will be food influence in the BG number, even after 1 hour, so a little bit of caution would be a good idea. If he's too close to your decision point BG threshold, then a reduced dose is another option.
If it's not going up, then stall without feeding for another 20 minutes. With Prozinc, you can stall for up to 1 hour and still keep to your regular shot time for the next cycle.
See the Sticky PROZINC DOSING METHODS for answers.

@Deb & Wink Seem to have some decent numbers the past couple of days. What do you think? Thanks!

At least you are starting to recognize those bounces.
Nice blue number for Max, that 154 at +5 on 6/21/20. Way to go Max! (and Rebecca!)
Steroid induced diabetes often resolves quicker, and we can hope that Max is one of those situations.
If you could start a new thread please, and link this one into the top for reference and history, that would be good.
Threads that are longer than 50 posts get to be unwieldy and make the database behind the scenes run slower.
Thanks.
