I gave the shot 2 hours late this morning and just gave her dinner. What now? Shot due in 30minutes to bring her time back to normal time at 15 minute increments
As I came late to the board I have just followed what I've been told so don't know about types of dosing. She was on 8U which is why I joined. We went to 3 after a crash then 2.75 after next crash. I was told the amount is decided by the low readings not the highPrevious post:

Are you following TR or SLGS? Did you give her insulin? The SS says 2.75U.
I have NOT given insulin yetPrevious post:

She is on FF pate. So zero carbs. Fed one hour ago.We follow 2 dosing protocols here. TR and SLGS.
SLGS: You hold a dose for 7 days (unless a reduction is earned). You decrease the dose when the BG falls below 90 mg/dl (on a human meter) and you do not give insulin below 90 mg/dl. The aim of this protocol is to keep the cat in the 90-150 range. This is more suited for caregivers who can't test as much as TR requires. You do a weekly curve with SLGS.
TR is a more aggressive protocol with increases as often as every 3-5 days. Reductions are earned when the BG falls below 50 mg/dl (on a human meter). The aim is to keep the cat in the range of 50-100 (which is the normal BG range for cats). To follow TR, you would need to get at least one more test per cycle in addition to the pre-shot one i.e. 2 tests per cycle or 4 tests per day. You would also need to be feeding only LC canned food and no dry food.
She has had dinner tonight, right? How long since?
We use different numbers in Australia so I don't know how to convert them. Can you please tell me how I don't.We follow 2 dosing protocols here. TR and SLGS.
