Help with numbers. Jessica is bouncing all over the place

[Michelle C.]

I just took Jessica's +5 BG and it was 47. She was 252 this morning and received 1.5 units of Vetsulin. I immediately gave her some treats. Should I also give her some food with gravy?

I updated her spreadsheet. I feel like I'm doing something very wrong.

Any advice to calm me???

Thank you!

I retested about 10 minutes after her treats and it was 83.

Can you take another test, Michelle? Carbs wear off quickly.

And congratulations on the reduction.
Tagging a few members to see what the new dose should be. (I never used Vetsulin.)

Good job. I had a hypo myself today! Glad I'm working from home.

Thanks, Janet. Glad you were home to catch the hypo.

New dose should be 0.25U less than the old dose.

So the new dose for Jessica would be 1.25U. Eyeball it as best you can, since no syringes have quarter unit markings on the barrel.
