I am glad too. I will be testing her shortly to see where we are. *hug*Nice to see Minky's BG is coming down![]()
Oh I forgot the addition to the title. You are amazing; don't say that. You have been so helpful to me.You know you're asking the wrong one
Do what Wendy said in your title
Go back and after your ? Put HELP NEED DOSING ADVICE
No because she had eaten over 1.5 ago. It should have come up by then. I can try testing again.Did you stall, not feed and test again in 20 minutes?
Are you setting, before you feed? And not feeding for the 2 hours before doing the preshot tests?No because she had eaten over 1.5 ago. It should have come up by then. I can try testing again.
She ate about 40 minutes ago and is at 176.Did you stall, not feed and test again in 20 minutes?
Usually she has not eaten two hours before the preshot tests. I usually test before she eats.Are you setting, before you feed? And not feeding for the 2 hours before doing the preshot tests?
Yes please test again now and post. Because of the recent DKA history we need to give some insulin
I just tested last night for ketones. I have to leave for work at 7:40 AM and it is almost 9:00 PM. I am not sure to be honest how often I can get up tonight. I will try to monitor. If I don't give her a shot now I will have to wait until the morning.Can you monitor overnight? And will giving the shot later make a difference to the shot schedule tomorrow morning.?
Have you tested for ketones since the 0.4 result?
Why don’t we give a token dose to at least make sure she has some insulin and test in the morning and if the BG is still low make sure you post asap for help. You will be giving the dose earlier than is really suitable in the morning but I can’t see a way around it. I won’t be around in the morning but hopefully someone will be. So just give her 1 unit now and make sure she eats well and give the dose in the morning as late as you can.I just tested last night for ketones.

Yes that makes sense, thank you!Why don’t we give a token dose to at least make sure she has some insulin and test in the morning and if the BG is still low make sure you post asap for help.

Does that all make sense.?
@Sheila and Minky@Bron and Sheba (GA)
I just tested Minky and she is 120. I am going to feed her some higher carb food (Fancy Feast with gravy). Any other recommendations?

Try not to tag Wendy and Neko. She said she didn't like being tagged so I don't want to bother her. I will fix my title to question and added the glucose reading.

Can you just use some of the gravy squeeze some out of the can and add it to the 6% carbs, the gravy is really where the carbs areI tried feeding the food with gravy but she didn't really want it. I gave her Mariner's Catch which is 6% carbs--still not high in carbs. I am wondering if I should give some corn syrup...
I didn't see it either. I looked it up a few days ago and thought it had more carbs. She wouldn't eat much of that either. I gave her a couple of lightly coated finger swipes of corn syrup. Our honey is not all that great. I will have to get some.@Sheila and Minky
I don't see that food in our chart?
Where did you find that?! I looked and looked and looked. One site said it was low on carbs but then another one said it was over 20%. *sigh* I wish I was better at digging up this stuff. Thank you *hug*Is this it ? It's on 3.75 carbs View attachment 71059
You will have to tell me how you find it on Chewy. I am so super curious.Found it on the Chewy site

I just saw it. I looked up just the chicken one and didn't see it.Found it on the Chewy site

Even though it has some chicken and some tuna flavors ,says the chicken is 3.75 where it has 12 questions
I know so I saw they had the variety packI just saw it. I looked up just the chicken one and didn't see it.
Ok just try and not fill her up , we usually give about 2 tablespoons at a time .@Diane Tyler's Mom GA I just gave her half of a small can of the Fancy Feast again. She ate about half of that so about 1/8 of a can of the seafood in gravy. At least it is something. I will test her in 1.5 hours again.
Okay, that is good to know. I am getting so tired but I won't sleep well until I know she is okay. I will have to get up to get ready for work in 4ish hours.Ok just try and not fill her up , we usually give about 2 tablespoons at a time .
She's really keeping you up late
I'll check in again , I'll be up
@Sheila and Minky
I know you're tired , oh God around 4 AM you have to get up , set the alarm and get some sleep until thenOkay, that is good to know. I am getting so tired but I won't sleep well until I know she is okay. I will have to get up to get ready for work in 4ish hours.
Green is good that means her pancreas is probably producing some insulin on its ownIt is 2 AM so have to get up around 6ish AM. I am thankful for numbers not being high but low is not good either.
At 9:39 (just before your detective work) she said she gave some corn syrup when mummy wouldn’t eat but hopefully she comes back to clarify. She said their honey didn’t look goodGreen is good that means her pancreas is probably producing some insulin on its own
@Sheila and Minky
I asked you before
On your SS you typed gave 2 swiped of corn syrup but you just said you gave FF seafood in gravy
What is correct
2 AM by me too
I did both. I usually don't put on the spreadsheet when I give food.Green is good that means her pancreas is probably producing some insulin on its own

I think you should though just put + FF only because you were trying to raise her BGI did both. I usually don't put on the spreadsheet when I give food.
