Kathleen told me not to give him his quarter unit . Is this good advice

 

[D and Noisy]

Was there any particular reasoning that Kathleen told you not to shoot? I'm coming in cold here.

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

Did you feed? We usually retest low numbers again in 15 minutes without having fed. This shows if the BG is rising without food influence, and is called stalling. Often if the cat gets up a bit higher we feed and shoot then, 70s is usually safe. I'm not an advisor though this is what I do. You may need more data to shoot low though.

 

[housecats4]

she said because he is low to wait until tomorrow to give him his shot

Who's Kathleen and why is she giving advice off the Board where it can't be peer reviewed? How familiar is she with Lantus?

The difference between a 72 and a 61 is insignificant when you factor in meter variance of 10 - 20%. As long as you have strips and HC food in the house, you've shot in this range before. If YOU are uncomfortable shooting this number, I would take a drop off the dose and shoot on time.

 

[D and Noisy]

You have the data to shoot low.
Why don't you try out the next dose down 0.1u?

 

[Helene & Tizon]

are you a cat sitter by any chance?
