Good morning everyone its been a while but I have an important question, not sure what is going on here....
So, Brady was at the vets getting 2.5 U while we went away for a couple days, he was there friday morning until Monday morning. His shot was given at 830 in the morning 2.5 U at the vets and I picked him up around 10 in the morning. When I got him home he was 321 then stayed in the yellows pretty much the rest of the day. We give Brady his shot at 545-600 AM and PM cycle. So we decided not to give him a shot last night to get him on schedule again today. However, he was fed his normal food times here at home. So about an hour or so after he got home he at 1/4 can of food. Then at his normal feeding time in the evening he got his 3/4 can of food and another 1/4 can at night before I went to bed. Fiskies low carb food is what we give him.
We woke up this morning, and what did we get but a very nice reading of 206, waited about a half hour or so while he ate and finished up and took it again and he was only 216. I use the relion prime meter, however, I also have the Alpha Trac 2 and took his sugar with that, it was only 280.
Here is where our cluelessness comes in, should he not have been extremely high this morning since he had not had any insulin for almost 22 hours????
This shocked us a little bit because he was way lower than expected so we only gave him 1.5 U this morning at his shot time......Looking for any opinion as to why he was this low this morning without having any insulin for 22 hours but continued to eat at his normal food times.
Hope eveyone is well and their kitties are doing well also.
