Today is the 2nd day that she's been OTJ. I just tested her for the first time. I did it three times. First she was at 156, then, 146, then 122. I averaged it and it's 141. I put it on her SS. Should I give her insulin at her PM? She hasn't been eating a lot. Some but not a lot yesterday and today. I started using the automatic feeder today. Maybe she needs to get used to it.

Is there anything else that could have caused the higher numbers? I would list out all the numbers and not do an average - you can write them all in the same cell by using 'alt + return' key to get the return to work within the same cell...

If I were you, I'd get a curve - can you do that tomorrow? Let's see what's going on during the rest of the day...it's too hard to make a call to restart insulin based on one test - even though it was three times, it's still one test based on the time of day...blood glucose is constantly changing in their bloodstreams ... let's see the bigger picture before making a decision. What do you think?

except for her not eating really well today, I can only think that may be one of my other boy kitties bothered her while I was out of the house today. Her just seeing them bothers her, sometimes.I can’t think of anything else that might do it.
I’m going to be out of the house most of the day tomorrow so I won’t be able to do a curve. And I will fix her spreadsheet as soon as I have a few minutes to concentrate on it. Ty!
 
It's always a good idea to test later to see if a blue number comes back down to green. You don't want to rush back to giving insulin if it's just a blip. If her overall numbers start going up and you get more blues, you'll want to post here and ask if she needs to go back on insulin. I'm glad she came back down to green. :D:D:D

Thank you, Carla. “So far” it seems like it was a blip. Fingers crossed. I’ll be able to test her 3 times before I go to an event, today and will be out most of the day. Whew! I’m glad, too! ❤️
