Her AMPS is 95. I was going to do what I did yesterday but today, I won't be able to monitor her for about an hour when I have to do something with my son. I have to leave at 9:30. In a little less than 2 hours.

I don't know, this would be the lowest I've shot at. I'm willing if she'll be ok. But we don't know that. Yes, that's correct about my having to leave for a bit.

Yes. she may indeed be lower at +2. You can feed higher carbs before leaving but you'd have to get back and test etc. Is it possible that you may be gone longer than an hour?
If you'd rather avoid the stress, you can skip. She will get back on track.

I don't think I'll be more than an hour. How will she get back on track if I skip? I can think right now. Would the insulin make her go lower?

She just tried to throw up but nothing came out except for a few clear drops of liquid. Maybe she was trying to throw up a fur ball but those clear drops never happened before.

Even if you skip and that causes her to go to higher numbers, she will get back to good numbers in few cycles.

Either a hairball or that's just stomach acid from not having eaten in a while.

I think its almost 40 mins past your usual shot time now? Less than 90 mins before you have to leave?

Yes, that's correct. I just fed her. I also tested her at +05 and she went up a point to 97.

You can either
(a) skip
(b) give the insulin, test 10 mins before you leave and feed HC and then come back in an hour and test again.

If you shoot, you will not be around for +2, it probably be +1 or +1.25

Ok, then I'll skip and give her HC before
I leave?

Since you are almost an hour overdue, you can just skip if that makes life simpler!

I'll skip. Then when I get back, does my day look like testing her every hour? That's absolutely fine. I just really need to plan my day today in between tests.

If you skip, you need not feed HC. Grab a test before you leave and if she is flat or lower, feed her a mix of LC and HC. If not, just LC should be fine.

Since you are skipping, you needn't test every hour. Get a test before you leave and after you return and we can take it from there.

I'm home but the little skamp is hiding. I'll test her as soon as I find her.

Ok, I just tested her. At +3.5 she was 118. What do we do to take it from here?

Looks like a nice quiet cycle thus far! Since you've skipped, you can go easy on the testing. Maybe get a test around +8/+9 just for data and in case she does a little late cycle dip like she likes to! Feed a little LC every 2-3 hours.

I might have to go to emergency. Possibility I have a blood clot. OI'm concerned that they might have to put me in the hospital. No one else knows how to take care of her!
 
I may or may not be admitted in the hospital. I'm leaving for the doctor in about 15 minutes. I have no to take care of Haley
