I gave the shot 2 hours late this morning and just gave her dinner. What now? Shot due in 30minutes to bring her time back to normal time at 15 minute increments
 
We follow 2 dosing protocols here. TR and SLGS.

SLGS: You hold a dose for 7 days (unless a reduction is earned). You decrease the dose when the BG falls below 90 mg/dl (on a human meter) and you do not give insulin below 90 mg/dl. The aim of this protocol is to keep the cat in the 90-150 range. This is more suited for caregivers who can't test as much as TR requires. You do a weekly curve with SLGS.

TR is a more aggressive protocol with increases as often as every 3-5 days. Reductions are earned when the BG falls below 50 mg/dl (on a human meter). The aim is to keep the cat in the range of 50-100 (which is the normal BG range for cats). To follow TR, you would need to get at least one more test per cycle in addition to the pre-shot one i.e. 2 tests per cycle or 4 tests per day. You would also need to be feeding only LC canned food and no dry food.

She has had dinner tonight, right? How long since?

We use different numbers in Australia so I don't know how to convert them. Can you please tell me how I don't.

Shot now due she's at 8.2 1hour abd 15mimutes since eating
 
Sorry, my internet is patchy. With SLGS, the reduction as well as no shoot number is 5 mmol/L. With TR it is lower at 2.8 mmol/L. On a human meter.
Did you give insulin?
 
If you click on the US tab you will see the numbers most of us use. It’s automatically done for you.
