7/19 Templeton PMPS 570 +1 481 +2 407 Good to sleep?

I'll let the experts weigh in but I think you should stick with your regular schedule of shooting. When would you have shot again tonight? Stay on that schedule. 12 hours apart. I'm glad you put the "?" in your title. It is possible he got some of the insulin and you never want to take the risk of giving a second shot. We have all given fur shots. We just need to bide our time until the next scheduled shot.

I would give his PM shot at 9pm. Yeah, and he just got a dose increase of .5 yesterday morning as well, so more risky if any of it got in him and not his fur.
 
And now I can actually leave the house without worrying about him getting too low, but I'm too tired to do anything.
Oh the irony.
 
You would shoot at your normal time in the PM. Unless you want to change your shot times? This would be a good opportunity to do? If you move shot times earlier you wouldn't have to be up too late testing? 7am too early in the morning for you? :p

Take the day off and just sleep! :bighug:

Would shaving a patch of his fur help in giving him the shots?
 
Are you sure that you gave a fur shot or just think so based on the high reading? I’m wondering if he’s just bouncing from last night’s low and the insulin hasn’t onset yet (since you’ve seen higher numbers at +2 before and then have gone down from there). Just a thought since he had that big, fast drop to unfamiliar numbers last night.

Yes, I just thought of that, low of 60 last night. Very well could be a bounce.
 
Do you want to change your shot time? If he's over 400 at +11, you could shoot then. This is a one time only suggestion.

Besides the greens last night, he did a really fast drop to +2 last night. I found the bounces caused by steep drops could be even worse than the "lower # than used to" ones.

PMPS 570 (shot went in 20 minutes later) +1.25 481 +2.25 407

Big drop but I can sleep now right? I mean how low could he go?

ETA: PM shot given on time, not early.
