Donna, does he have a history of pancreatitis? I wonder because if he had something "simmering" that could explain elevated numbers, and then if it got worse in the past few days and decreased his appetite, the .25u dose was too much for that situation (which you didn't know was happening, of course). I'm trying to remember how much I had to decrease Beau's dose when he had his last, worst P-titis flare, but that was vetsulin (I think), but I know I had to decrease and he was still in lower numbers.
Have you dealt with ptitis? A decreased appetitie is the first symptom, along with withdrawal, hiding and "meatloafing" if there is a lot of pain. I handled it with pepcid (the single ingredient kind), syringing food and water - and a lot of angst. The better way to go is to also add sub-Q fluids and pain meds, which I know new, but didn't then.
It is important to get some food into him, so do what you can to entice him with his favorites, and syringe if you have to. That's a necessary pain too, as you say.
Hope things settle down and he was just stressed from the low and then the pokes and will come out and eat for you. And, gosh, all that through a migraine? I'm sure glad I never had to deal with low numbers AND a migraine at the same time. I hope YOU feel better today. Try some peppermint tea with a little honey and, if it isn't too hot down there, breath in the steam a bit as you drink it.
