4/15 Manu +3 ADVICE (low)

[MsF & Manu]

Hi, I did Manu's first at-home BG curve yesterday, and his numbers got dangerously low. He's been bouncing all over the place! He is on Vetsulin and I reduced his dose today. I gave him his injection today at 8:00 am (PST). It was really high (378), and I just tested him 2-1/2 hours after injection and it's plummeted to 101 again. All the details from yesterday and today are here:

Here's his spreadsheet (I wasn't testing regularly prior to yesterday):

What should I be giving him to make sure it doesn't drop too low again? I don't want to feed him so much that it spikes again. I think that's what may have happened yesterday:

Here are today's notes so far:

I think you did the smart thing by reducing the dose. I would hold the 1.5u and keep monitoring. What you're seeing is fairly typical of Vetsulin.

Update for those still checking: I am keeping him on 1.5 units (1/2 of what he had been on!) The vet is out of town this week, so I'm just doing it! You can check his spreadsheet, but he runs normal mid-day. I just tested him at 98 at noon AGAIN. It's high in the morning, but it seems like that's because the insulin wears off and then he has two small snacks in the night (he demands one about 1-1/2 hours before breakfast). Thank you for your expert advice!
