Kat M Member Since 2017 Sep 2, 2017 #1 Merlin this morning 201 (AlphaTrak). Guessed he might be a little lower than normal because he was super hungry. I was planning to do a BG curve today. Should I give him any insulin? Wait an hour and check again?

Kat M Member Since 2017 Sep 2, 2017 #4 Going with the BG curve and monitoring each hour! Starting to get low at +3.
Wendy&Neko Member Since 2012 Moderator Sep 2, 2017 #6 Good thing you did the curve today. Now you know that dose is too high. Congrats on the reduction to 0.5 units. How is Merlin acting? NormLly we consider this just low numbers, unless he's showing signs of an actual hypo.

Kat M Member Since 2017 Sep 2, 2017 #7 He seems fine, not running around or anything, but not laying around lethargic either.
Christie & Maverick Member Since 2017 Sep 2, 2017 #8 How has Merlin been the last bit of his cycle? Hope everything's going ok
Kat M Member Since 2017 Sep 2, 2017 #9 He came back up to normal, then of course by dinner time he was up in the 300s again lol.
