Why can't he go low when I'll be home to monitor him and the affect that food would have on the BG with a full dose? I did a curve over the weekend... couldn't have happened then ;-) Little stubborn stinker has done this a few times (LOL), but it's on days that I have to work so I don't shoot because I won't be here to monitor. The Vet said it was OK to shoot this low as long as I was feeding him, but I just don't dare to without being able to test and monitor.

ETA: +7 = 329
ETA: PMPS 360
Edited again: PM +4 = 392.
 
Re: 6/26 Zeus AMPS 109

Thanks BJM, I'm not sure if I've seen this exact sticky (I have read and re-read so many), but I know that I've read some similar to it. Tonight, Zeus' number was 86. I did not shoot, but I did feed him as normal. I'm going to get in a couple of tests tonight to see what his numbers do.

Thanks again,
Kathie

ETA: PM fed as normal, no shot, +2 = 360.

Hmmm, maybe the Vet was right. PM + 4 = 392 and I am feeding his 4th meal now, which will spike again. Perhaps I should have given a shot? Based on Zeus' spreadsheet, what would you have done?
 
Actually after looking at his spreadsheet I would drop his dose back to 1u bid, and hold for 7 days then run a curve and base my dosing decision off the data collected then.

What I am seeing is that even at 1u he dropped low enough by a preshot that you had to skip a shot, and yet you have raised the dose, which is causing a lot of skipped shots and then bounces off lows. What you are trying to achieve is to find a dose that allows you to safely twice a day.

I was thinking that the 1.75 might be too high, but the 1.5 didn't seem to be enough based on the curve last weekend. We only had 1 skipped shot during that 9 day period that I held the dose other than that we were mostly pink and yellow.

So you would drop all at once from 1.75 to 1 unit bid? Or gradual?
 
Okay I scrolled back up to look at the complete spreadsheet, sorry didn't see it all yesterday as I was on my phone..oops.

But now after further review go back to 1.5u bid and hold that for a week maybe just a little longer, some cats do take a little longer when changing doses to see the full effect on them. Also everytime you skip a shot for whatever reason you holding period starts over because part of the shed has been used up.

Good Advice, thanks. I had wondered about that. So at 1.5 I had only really held the dose for 5 days because of the missed shot.
