Hello!
Brioche has been on 4 units for a few days and his BG has gotten down to about 80 tonight. I know this is low so I wanted to see what everyone thought I should do about his dose? The sticky notes said to decrease by .25 if he drops below 90. I just wasn’t sure if more of a decrease was necessary. His spreadsheet is updated.
Thank you!
 
Hi Charlotte.
yes if you are using vetsulin and Brioch drops under 90 , you reduce the dose by 0.25 U so you new dose moving forward is 3.75 units.
Are you feeding Brioch 30 minutes before you give the dose of insulin?
And are you giving some snacks of low carb food during the first half of all cycles?

I’ve been waiting about 20 minutes before I give him the shot, and yes I have been giving him snacks.

Thank you for the clarification by the way!
