Good suggestion to start a new thread, Laurie. I was thinking the same thing.
Sid's lowest level last night was 285. At PMPS +6.5 when he was HI, I gave him a fat .25U of R and it only brought him down to 331 and only lasted about 2 hours. I think I should have given him an entire unit but I was worried about what might still be going on from the Prozinc. I still don't know exactly how he is handling that. I do know that once he is HI nothing except more insulin brings him down. (AND both the internal specialist and my regular vet were very adamant that when he is HI, 1U of R will NOT make him go too low and it never has but it is also true that is if no other insulin might still be active so I have to keep that in mind.)
Last night as his numbers were high, he was pretty lethargic though he did eat the small meal I gave him with the R and he ate his usual 3/4 can this morning at AMPS.
I will be able to monitor him all day as I have a holiday from work (happy President's Day). I hope I get some clue as to what his levels might do during the week when I'm at work!
