Hi everyone,

Benny's PMPS was 327. I gave him 3 units. Two hours later, his BG is 140. Is this good news or bad? Is he going to become hypoglycemic? Should I be scared about this? Or is he just doing well?

I have not been doing a large number of tests because I plan to do a curve and he is getting upset about the tests. I was hoping to preserve his cooperation for that. I just did this as a spot check.

 

Is it okay for me to leave him like this to go to bed?

 

When you get such a large drop at onset, you want to get another test to see how he is going. It's good that he is breaking into lower numbers. Did you feed him after the +2 test?

 

How long is it since the +2? Can you get another test at +3 or +4?

 

Yes, I did and he ate well. He's eating again as we speak. I'll test him again in a little while.

Thank you so much for responding, I'm still really nervous about this!

 

Yes, I will do that. Hope it is okay that I'm feeding him in between.

 

His +3 is 75. He's eating everything I can give him. He literally ate a can of Fancy Feast. Should I go for the high-carb Gravy Lovers?

 

Just saw this. Think you can get a +3.5? I know he is difficult to test.

 

Bhooma, +3.5 is 119.

 

Did you feed any higher carbs? If not, he should be okay for the night.
Feed a little more LC if he we will eat it. Does he have access to food at night?

 

He has eaten some more LC, no higher carbs. He's eaten a lot in the last two hours! Since we cut out kibble, I leave him a fresh can before bed and get up early to give him more. Should I leave him a little kibble? Give him some higher carb food?

ETA thank you so much for being here, Bhooma. This was scary!

 

No. He is heading up and just his regular food is good.

 

Thank you! It's bedtime for both of us now.
