Numbers in the 40s or below really mean you need to intervene with HC.
Here are the instructions for handling low numbers.
Phyllis -- I'm not sure I understand why you increased Nonnie's dose.

She DID hold the dose this morning....I had told her to hold the .75 since she'd been skipping around on dose lately
Julie had told her to increase but she hadn't read her post yet.
I was just going to comment that I disagreed on increasing since Nonnie had been having such wonky numbers and Phyllis had been changing dose a lot. I felt it was better to hold the same dose until we could really gauge what it was doing
Good thing you only went with the .75 Phyllis! Looks like Nonnie is going to get a reduction to .5 instead of an increase!!
Good catch on the 34!! Keep testing (and feeding) every 15-20 minutes until he's above 60 and then you can relax a little (but still keep testing for at least 2 hours after the last time you fed to make sure he stays up!)
Wow Nonnie!! Way to make a point!!

Re: 4/14 Nonnie AMPS 148 +3 34
THe Ultra One Touch meter read LO at +3.15 and 37 @ +3.5 I gave gravy both times and some treats and will test again soon. Was wondering what the LO means....Below 20???
Could not get any Karo in him....tried the gums....have more luck with large syringe but hopefully it will come up.
I actually tested the meter on myself to make sure the battery was ok, even tho it said it was. I was 85 which is probably right....I tend to run low,.
He's come up to 43 with just gravy and some treats....will keep checking.

LO is below 20 :shock: Please try to give him some Karo or other syrup and test again in 15 minutes and post the number.
We are worried.
If he doesn't come up, you may need to take him to a vet to get a glucose drip.
Please come up, Nonnie.

Re: 4/14 Nonnie AMPS 148 +3 34 +3.15 LO +3.5 37 + 3.75 43
Okay, I see he is 43 now. Give more gravy or gravy with a drop of karo and test again in 15 to 20 minutes.
Like I said, he can come down again real quick once the gravy wears off. You will need to remain diligent. You are doing a good job. How is Nonnie acting?

Lo can mean different things, but generally, it means in the 20's (or lower)
Just keep giving the High Carb gravy and retest every 15-20 minutes until he comes up at least into the 60's
43 is better, but keep it up!

Re: 4/14 Nonnie AMPS 148 +3 34 +3.15 LO +3.5 37
On the One Touch LO means below 20:
All results
The meter will display four results at a time, in the order the tests were done, starting with
the most recent. For each test result, the meter will display the date and time of the test.
Results may also contain the following symbols:
HI if the result was above 600 mg/dL,
LO if the result was below 20 mg/dL,
* if a comment has been chosen for the result,
C if the result is from a control solution test,
– if the result is flagged BEFORE MEAL, and
+ if the result is flagged AFTER MEAL.

Good!
Hopefully he'll come up soon....but Dyana is totally right...if he continues dropping or starts to act strange, you should get him to the vet as soon as possible.
Now that he's in the 40's, it's better, but you need to remain vigilant. It's still early in the cycle.
You're doing great Phyllis!!

I'd want you to keep testing for at least 2 hours since the last time you gave food or Karo and make sure he stays up
Can you maybe go in a little later?

Re: 4/14 Nonnie AMPS 148 +3 34 +3.15 LO + 4.20 77 +5.5 122
Up to 122 now....feel I can relax a little....may run to HS for an hour and test when I get back...it's only 10 min away...my husband is back now to keep an eye on him. Thanks, all. And thanks to whoever took the 911 down. Or....may stay here just in case....don't like days like this as you all know from experience. I think somewhere I got my time off today, cause it doesn't really add up to real time....at any rate...looking for one more good number.

Up to 212....probably going to have a fun day tomorrow. Can anyone advise on tonight's dose? I will post a PMPS but assuming it's still up, hold at 0.75? He will have to get it about 30 minutes early tonight as I have a class. Thanks

I'm not going to class so I can be right on schedule...he's more important right now. I'll do a PMPS and post before I shoot. I'll go with 0.5 unless someone can give me a good reason not to.
Thanks! BTW....what is R? I'm not going to do anything different...just curious.

Whew, what a day you and Nonnie had! You did a great job bringing him up today, Phyllis!
R stands for Humulin-R. It's a fast-acting insulin that some people use to help when their kitties are bouncing (in addition to the regular Lantus doses they're giving).
Have a great night, Phyllis. I hope Nonnie is done with the dramatic dives for the day!
