? 6/30~ Need advice please:Gave Lantus PMPS dose 2 hrs earlier by mistake.

[Mariaana and Milo]

Hi,
Sure didn't plan on being back so soon.. I was gone all day and rushing back home to remove Milo's
food bowl at 7:00PM and then Lantus PMPS at 9:00 Pm as usual.
Somehow i thought it was his time testing,food and Insulin... As soon as i gave him the shot i realized
my error!But feed his usual can of Low Cal FF Pate,and added another TSP of FF Grilled Chicken & Gravy.(12%)

He tested 261 at 7:00 PM ( **2 hrs early** PMPS)
Retested @ + 2 (9:00 PM) reading was 234. This is a first for me but i am thinking as long as i keep monitoring,testing every 2 hrs or even more frequently if his BG dips too low.( I am anticipating an earlier nadir this evening though.) And feeding small meals during
the night,we will be just fine.
I think his Nadirs are @+ 5-6 hrs..?
I also opened a new vial for this "early" PMPS dose and wondering if the Insulin will be more potent as it
is brand new?
I will be giving his AMPS dose at 7:00 AM on July 1st ~ Right?
*Curve was done on June 27th*
I appreciate everyone's expertise here on FDMB!
Thank's.

Hi Mariaana, looks like he's not having too crazy a cycle tonight. If you can get a +4 and a +6 (if he is much lower at +4), that would be good.

When getting back to your usual shot time, you can adjust 30 mins per day. So this is how you can do it.

July 1 - 7:30am/pm
July 2 - 8:00am/pm
July 3 - 8:30am/pm
July - 9:00am/pm

Hi Bhooma ~ You can't get rid of me can you? lol!
But seriously: you are my special Angel here on FDMD!
Ok so Tested Milo @+4.5 and his BG read 203. So not that bad at this point.
So should i test again @+6 then?
Also i usually give him a small snack around @+4 or @+5 .With or without testing as he always seem hungry.
So should i give him his LC FF pate or something higher in carbs now to "prevent a crash' later on?
I feed Milo 2 Tsp FF pate @+5 .
** Thanks for the adjusted Insulin schedule Bhooma!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

You can't get rid of me can you? lol!

Now why would I want to?!

So should i test again @+6 then?

if you are up, you can get a +6 but he doesn't look like he is dropping so much. Would be good to give him a snack before bed. His usual LC food is fine.

I'm glad Bhooma was around to help you.
Would you mind putting in the actual PMPS square that the shot was given 2 hours early please so we can see at a glance what happened. Thanks

Hi Bron,
I have added a comment to the 'actual' PMPS Square now. But the background will only turn to black.
Oh well, as long as the message is clear...
Thanks for your input!

Sounds like an epidemic of early shots happening tonight. At least you were only 2 hours early, my absent minded brain somehow managed to be 6 hours early

Hi John,

Oh wow... must have been something in the air...?
We are only human after all!
Hope that you are having a good summer!
