i hope i did the title right! It's our first day giving Luci insulin but we weren't sure if his pre shot number was too low to give a .5 dose so we did a .25 haha. We're deathly scared of his bg dropping too low. If I need to alter the title pls tell :)
 
Welcome Lynn and Lucifer to LLB :bighug:

We link our prior post to our current one because it makes it easier to see the last pieces of advice/posting. Here's yours https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/posts/3119103/

Great job with the title of your thread. One favor though is that we ask you post in US numbers since most of us (and the FDMB) are US based. I can ask @Bandit's Mom to help add a tab to your SS which will automatically convert from world to us numbers.

We're all scared at first (and sometimes still after awhile o_O) but we are here to help.
Lucifer is responding quite well and glad that you started at 0.25 units.
Do you think you can get another test at around +6ish?

Hi Lynn, until Bhooma @Bandit's Mom sees the tag and sets up the US tab , just wanted to let you know how to figure out US numbers in case you didn't know
9.6 x 18=172 and 6.4 = 115

Do you have your hypo kit, just in case you have to bring Lucifer's BG up to safe numbers
Hypo kit
Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Gourmet Beef Feast in Gravy 20% High Carbs

Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Gourmet Chicken Feast in Gravy 15% Med Carbs

Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Turkey Feast in Gravy 15% Med Carbs

Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Chicken and Beef in Gravy 15% Med Carbs

Good idea to mark the cans with magic marker how many carbs

Or any on the food chart. Doesn't have to be Fancy Feast just an example about the med and high carb foods
And some honey in the house

11% -15 is medium carbs.

16- 24 is high carb.

Take action number on a human meter
On a human meter, 50 is your “take action” number
Meaning you will need to intervene with food to bring the BG number up

Yes we have his hypo kit, his old food was medium carb so we kept some for it. Thank you for the US conversions!!
