9/17 Hester Sue AMPS 226, +6 85, PMPS (or BG) 114 ??? Advise requested

[Morna & Hester Sue]

So do I shoot or not? I have been going on the "don't shoot below 150" advice.

Also, i just put the food down and she took a few licks then jumped back up here next to me.

I don’t give dosing advice and I can’t stay with you unfortunately - but personally when I get a lower than expected preshot, I stall without feeding and retest in 20 mins. If that number is flat to up, I have more confidence to shoot because the prior dose of insulin is no longer active and I’m shooting into an increasing number (that should go up even more with food). The other thing I consider is whether I can stay and monitor. If I can, I also have more confidence to shoot.

I already fed them, and she did eat, so that option out for tonight. I do appreciate the perspective. It all helps me get an idea of how different folks handle these situations.

Since you are following SLGS for dosing, that below 90 today means her new dose should be 0.1 units.

That is tiny. i thought .25 was about impossible to draw.

It is now an +1 since her usual PM shot. Should I still give it? Test and then decide?

Thanks for the reply. i am noticing that i tend to need help in the evenings, but I am on Pacific time, and most folks who feel qualified to give advice are not available.

You can still give the shot tonight if you can monitor. If not, skip and give it in the morning. Test and decide also a good option.

I am on PDT, but get up at 4:30 AM so heading off to bed.

Thank you. I will test and decide. Though she is snoring peacefully.

Final update in this thread. I gave 0.1u at +2 last night.

Best of luck with the new dose.
