Had a scary night... went down to 50 and gave high carb once and regular LC snacks in between... Was on 2u and advised to give 1.75. This is the first time I gave 1.75 with syringe draw from Lantus pen. It was very difficult to draw such a specific amount. I hope I did it right. such a steep learning curve Really appreciate the people here and it is a blessing to know you are not alone when panic strikes! Also, bought an CareSens human glucose monitor, today... After the past week, I can't believe how much I spent on AlphaTrak test strips!

It's good you bought a human meter. The strips for a pet meter can get really expensive if you test as much as some of us do!

Once you switch to a human meter, your spreadsheet will need a small formatting change to reflect that you are using a human meter. I can help you with that once you make the switch.

Hi Aimee and Garfield! Aimee it looks like you had a very long night last night and that was an all time low. Those first green numbers can be scary but it looks like you handled it like a champ, congrats! Do you have the list of higher carb foods as well as medium and low carb?

Thank You…. It was scary. I have him on viva raw LC…. I have freeze dried ziwi peak lamb LC . For high carb, I just used his old food that I thought was good for him but has peas in it… ‍ Natural balance limited ingredient. I am going to get together another gravy based food that the forum has suggested. I will look into the medium carb. Makes sense when u want to bump him up, but not too high. Thankfully, he’s a food spiker so that works in our favor.
