Hello can you tell me if a did it correctly thanks
 
Good. Do you have any test results taken at your vet since diagnosis? It’s hard to know f this dose will be too low without any past history. I think it’s probably best to try it for a week and then decide in the next dose per SLGS. Questions?

the only tests i have are from may his full blood work is that ok for now ?also i dont know how i can add it to my ss until at least monday. would you like to still see it?
 
Don’t bother. We will just start from now. Let’s see what the tests show over the week. Don’t worry. I’m glad you started testing and posting.
 
That’s a nice safe bg. At this point it’s a nice nadir. You will hold unless he drops under 90 at which point a reduction is earned. The take action number where you need to intervene is 50 say and it’s time for high carb food. If you happen to test and he’s under 90 just post. Add it to your title. The site was down and none of us could post. If that ever happens and you are in trouble send a pm.

Send a private message to you if he goes below 90. And so hold the 1.25 . .
 
Since the site is working you don’t need a private message. I bet he’s been earning decreases but since you weren’t testing you didn’t know. Good thing you are testing. The diet change is also why. Kudos. Did you ever see signs that he might be too low? Was he acting strange?

He’s never acted strange. Or any signs. I just switched his food it may be ten days now. No more kibble. I did not change his diet until I started home testing. I knew that’s not safe.
 
Hi Chrissy!

Just popping in to say 'hello' to you and Kirby.

Great job safely changing Kirby's diet to low carb. I'm glad it's having such a positive impact on his blood glucose levels. :)

Please remember not to feed two hours before insulin. Here’s why. You don’t have enough data to predict yet what he will do and the PMPS will be food influenced. Can you be off schedule by an hour? If so you would not feed and two hours from when he ate test again. Then the result won’t be food influenced.

If he’s high you might not need to stall.
