? 12/4 Fluffy PMPS 380 to 85 at +8.5

Kind of freaked out. Can’t sleep worrying it won’t stop going down. Haven’t seen a number this low since he was diagnosed. At what point should I feed him something to bring it up? Is it dropping too fast because his dose is too high now? I’m afraid of what will happen tomorrow after increasing today.

Also what do I do if it hasn’t gone up much by the time he gets he’s supposed to get his shot in 3 hours?

Yesterday

It got down to 68 and the alarms were going off so I fed him a little to try to bring it back up.

30 minutes after food we’re at 103 and looks like it’s staying there. Hopefully someone can help me with how much insulin to give in a couple of hours. Really scared to do his current dose again or anything close to it after such a huge drop.

154 AMPS. I did 5 because I was scared. He ate all his breakfast but more slowly than usual.

I'm sorry no one was here to help. And believe me, I get that middle of the night fear when you're on your own.
The best we can do is look at the data we've collected so far and try to predict where they will be at onset and what could happen.
To me, I get why you did the reduction. I'm starting to learn it's better to worry about higher numbers than super low.
Sometimes it helps to trash some of the older mods. I'll do that here for you, as well as am actual newer person, that in my opinion, helped save my boy if extra hypo numbers. She seems to have a supernatural intuition with this.

Thank you while I was awake all night with him I was reading through some posts and following your low number journey, too. I hope things even out for you soon because I know the feeling now I know my boy’s numbers aren’t super low compared to others but I just feel like that big of a dive and a continued drop wasn’t exactly right

Those dives are scary. Especially if there's no one around to help you through it. I'm still frantic every time and I'm reminded how frustrated I was just a few weeks ago with super hi numbers. Yeah I was, but that doesn't help hypo numbers.
Now I'm freaking out, thinking I shouldn't have even given mine the 0.5 this morning. I hate how this all is.
I sure hope your baby goes through a much smoother time.

Sorry nobody answered last night. The take charge with hc on a human meter is 50. I remember the nights when nobody was around. It helped me to print out the sticky on how to handle low numbers. I would read it and sit by my computer in between feedings. Lantus usually starts to wear off later in the cycle. Sometimes all you need is a little regular lc or a teaspoon of mc if the bg doesn’t rise after 20-30 minutes.

If home you could have given the full dose this morning. As you can see he’s heading up. He’s bouncing. Usually a token dose will not effect the first half of the cycle. Since it was the lowest he’s been at preshot a token was fine. Go back to the regular dose tonight. One thing to keep in mind is cats often go lower at night. It really messes with our sleep. I never recovered, lol.

Well done and good support Kaylee.
