Peter is looking and behaving better than ever. Very actively playing. However, his number was 59 today at 8 pm. How do I shoot if at all? He had Ketones and at the emerg a month ago.
Unfortunately, I fed him as I was worried about his BG.Can you stall? Do NOT feed, test again in 20 minutes. It'd be good to see if he's on his way up or down. Below 90 you don't shoot with SLGS, but maybe if you stall enough he'll come up to a shootable number.

52. Giving him some gravy now.Checking his level now.
The 52 was 15 minute after his meal. I will try to test for ketones.How long after his meal was that 52? You probably don't need to give high carb food. The number where we suggest high carb is below 50.
If you shot a couple hours later tonight, could you still be OK with shooting him 2 hours later tomorrow morning? It would be good to get insulin into him. Then work your way back on schedule by 1/2 hour once per day or 15 minutes per cycle.
Have you tested him for ketones lately?
What is the cut off which lets me shoot?It takes 20-30 minutes after eating for the carbs to show up in the blood stream. You might have tested too soon. Try testing 20 minutes after that gravy and we can see if he's gone up enough to shoot.
OK He is 97 now. I will shoot him 2 and check before bed and leave food.With SLGS, no shots below 90. But depending on whether you can monitor tonight, it might be higher.
Thank you so much for the help and the feedback. I am feeling hopeful that I can help him feel well.Some minor changes to the spreadsheet when you have time. Since the 97 is when you shot, it should go in the PMPS cell. I think it was about an hour later than usual? If so, you can put 97@+13 in the PMPS cell, so we know it was an hour later. In the +11 cell, you can put 58@+12, 52@+12.3. You'll have to manually enter those in the US tab and use the paint icon to change the colours, as it won't convert automatically from the World numbers.
Paws crossed for a nice surf tonight.
