Hi. Quick question. Frodo is 92 pmps so I’m stalling for 30 min and gonna check him again. I know that his numbers weren’t very low during the day but will I still give him 2.5u? I’m pretty sure he might go low tonight after the shot. Thanks
 
Hi Paulina, please don't feed, test him again in 20 minutes. If he is still going down, but remains above 50, you can still give him his insulin. It looks like he is breaking his bounce right now. Do you have your hypo kit with high carb food or honey at the ready? Can you stay up until +5?

Yep I’m going to bed late anyways every day as he tends to have lower readings in the evenings except 2days ago when he had all greens during the day. And yes I have the honey etc ready Thank you.

Please keep your thread title updated with numbers in the US format. It will get more eyes on your condo in case I step away. :) Will be waiting for your next test number.
 
Shoot 2.5 units. Shoot low to stay low! Feed him his usual low carb meal and test again at +1 to see what kind of food bump he gets.
 
Good, at least he is coming up, but still not fast enough. What percentage is your HC? Can you give him a small bit of that right now?
 
Hi Paulina, can you test again at +3.5?

Also, before I forget, Frodo's new dose is 2.25 tomorrow morning after the night he's giving you!
 
More HC if he is still willing to eat!

I would also look into getting him some higher percentage carved food from the UK food list as he seems to not be very sensitive to carbs.

fed him already. He ate :) Yes I have to check what’s available here and order on zooplus. More than 16% is it??

Yes, in fact, I would even look for something over 20% for Frodo as he’s bouncy and I wonder if getting him a higher carb food that will stay in his system better than honey would prevent the bouncing. Just a theory, but it’s worth a shot.

Ok so u mean that HC food for his hypo kit is it? or generally slightly higher carb food too for daily use??
 
For sure :p was asking as when he was on pro zinc he did better on slightly higher food for a while as he was bouncing too fast after (mostly) morning shots and then he was high again in the evening. That worked for a good while until he got his dental problems again as he has tooth resorption condition
