Zot started insulin a couple of days ago and was told to do a glucose curve 14 days after beginning insulin. I'm still learning, and I am wondering if I should continue stalling or skip his PM dose entirely tonight. Today was a difficult day for BG monitoring, and he was extra finicky, but a couple of hours ago, I found a groove with him, and the last 2 readings were very easy to get from him.
With him showing much improvement with the insulin over just the last couple of days, I am ecstatic but also a little concerned that he may end up dropping too low. @Bron and Sheba (GA) have been very helpful and told me that I could stall if below 200, wait to feed, and test again in 20 minutes and then post for help. I admit that I saw this a bit late, and when I sat down to check the forums, I had already given him his meal, but did not give the insulin. I still tested, and he read 186. I will test again soon to see how much it climbs, but I am searching for advice on what I should do or how I should handle this.
The vet has not taught me too much about BG levels or when/what to do apart from medical emergency-related things.
