11/1 Logan AMPS 145, +4 90, +7.25 77, +9 74

[Jennifer and Logan]

Logan has not eaten much today except her breakfast but she ate it later than usual. Gave her usual dose of 1 unit Lantus this morning. Gave her 4mg cerenia at 4pm and transdermal mirataz at 6pm. Will eat treats and churu but not regular food. Should I give full dose of insulin tonight or partial dose or skip it?

If following SLGS which would be our recommendation since she’s eating dry food, a reduction for falling under 90 has been earned so going forward the dose is .75. See what the pmbg is to see what dose if any to give.

How low is too low to give a dose?

 

[tiffmaxee]

It depends on if she will eat and you can monitor. With SLGS you never shoot under 90 and if not eating enough I would probably not shoot under 150 being new to BG under 200. You could give a token dose if .25 if you can get her to eat and can stay up as long as needed. She might bounce from the lower BG.

 

[Jennifer and Logan]

The mirataz has kicked in and she’s eating small amounts of food. But BG is at 77 so I will skip PM shot.

I’m glad she’s eating.

I’m glad she’s eating.

Thanks for responding last night. Logan is at 200 this morning. She ate most of her food overnight and pooped! I’m going to give her .75 dose and see what happens.
