Benny cleared his bounce quickly. I gave him .50, down from .75. This is too much insulin, I think. I should have given him .25. Can anyone advise what I should do?

Edited to add that his vet told me to give him 50% dose if between 150 and 200. I am in a real panic.

With SLGS you can shoot (the full dose) any number over 90 - provided you can monitor. Shooting low is scary at first but as you get use to shooting low, you will realize that it can lead to pretty flat cycles.

Feed a little LC at +1 and +2 and get a +2?

OK, thank you so much for responding, Bhooma. Looking at his spreadsheet (what did I do before the spreadsheet?) I realize that I have shot 1u with this BG before, and he has done well. I've cleared my schedule for today I can monitor him. Hypoglycemia is my worst fear and I tend to shoot less because of it, which is not good either.

Also, thanks again for the spreadsheet, you made it for me and it matters so much.

I was going to point that out, but at that time there was no dosing protocol being followed

As long as you are testing and have enough supplies (test strips, high carb food and honey), you have the means to keep him safe.

I've gotten with the program.

+2 240 He ate a lot of MC. Will keep monitoring.

Why MC?

All I had. Store shelves have been bare here. As an example, just 9 cans of Friskies, total, in PetSmart, out of a huge section. Have a bit of LC on its way now.
