You could but it would mess up your 12 hour schedule. Can you schedule adjust to 12 hours later?
How would I do that? The easiest way
What about 1u instead of 2, I’m new to this missing or no insulin went in syringe
7 or can I shoot his pmps a little early
I’ve messed his good numbers all up!
You will still not want to shoot any earlier than 11. 5 hours from now tomorrow morning.
I wouldn't do that - just go with your next dose ... you shoot pretty early don't you? 4 or 4:30 EST?
4:45
Tu
I would wait.
Don't beat yourself up. Similar things happen to us all. FS happen always at the wrong time, either they are too high or doing great. You'll get him reined in again.
For future reference if we think they've had a FS we don't try to 'top up dose' it could prove very dangerous because we are just going on gut and we don't know how much insulin kitty got so it would be really easy to overdose our cat.Possible FS or bottle was almost empty, starting new one at pmps
Probably due to vial almost empty, I can’t believe I didn’t notice omg
Even if he got no insulin at all, it would be unlikely that his depot would be completely empty.
. His numbers were high for a day and then he got back to normal, I felt horribly guilty, but in the scheme of things it made no difference.
Last night I didn’t interfere, he didn’t get HCFor future reference if we think they've had a FS we don't try to 'top up dose' it could prove very dangerous because we are just going on gut and we don't know how much insulin kitty got so it would be really easy to overdose our cat.

His numbers today look like a classic bounce from all that time in nice low greens.
What did you feed last night? Anything other than his regular HC?
I remember messing up once, it was new years eve, I filled the syringe, tested, gave bfg his food and then forgot to shoot him. I didn't realise till the next morning
Great surf last night. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a bounce, and since he's been clearing them so quickly, you might not get much respite.
Thanks Gill, sorry to hear George is back on the juiceGreat surf last night. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a bounce, and since he's been clearing them so quickly, you might not get much respite.
If it turns out to have been a FS I'm betting hell hel back to business promptly. Try not to worry about it, s**t happens, so many of us running on empty it's no surprise.
That was a great suggestion. Last time I tried to adjust for a late shot, it took me over a week to get caught up. I would much rather have done this.
Looks like Gill pegged it. Bella's got some serious movement going with that +2. I hope he gives you a nice SAFE DARK GREEN surf tonight.
Well, I've done both the fur shot and the forgotten syringe, and I've experienced the guilt that comes with messing up. We've all made mistakes.

Yes, I do. Thanks for clarifying. It is a very important difference!See the difference?
Correct!
And you’re welcome!In my head, you knew all that
You sound like my husband

I screenshot thisThere is a difference between making up for a late shot and between shooting late after an early shot.
If you are making up the time for a late shot (let’s say you stalled two hours), then you need to take the shot time back by no more than 30 mins a day (Getting Back on a 12/12 Schedule).
However, I was advising her to shoot early one cycle because she was sure she gave little to no insulin and to shoot late the next to get back on time. If a shot is missed and numbers are climbing, there’s no reason to wait the full 12 hours to put some insulin in kitty and the CG can shoot at +22 or +23 (as Jamie did). Then shooting late by two hours the next cycle would, at worst if at all, be equivalent to a dose reduction.
See the difference?

So since I shot 1 hour early, do I shot 30min late? Hard to remember all this, since I have never done it and then back at normal 4:45 at pmps tomorrowThere is a difference between making up for a late shot and between shooting late after an early shot.

Nice job Bella! Remember, lime green=NO. Dark green=YES.
It doesn’t really matter since you are shooting late to get back on time. You can either shoot at 4:45 and be on time or you can shoot 30 mins early tomorrow morning and 30 mins early Mon morning to then be on time. But shooting at +13 tomorrow morning is not going to affect him and that’s what I’d do if he were mine.
Thank you, all done, I appreciate the helpIt doesn’t really matter since you are shooting late to get back on time.

BTW, might I make a suggestion for his SS so it’s clear at a glance what you did? I’d put the 342 in the PMPS column but I’d put “342 @ +11”. Right now, it looks like you didn’t test at PMPS and altho you mention it in the remarks, not everyone takes the time they should to read them
I’d also put “FS” in the units column under 2u for this morning.
You’re welcome and thank you for editing so it makes it a bit easier for helpers to know what you needed to do
