Her number just dropped to 32 in less than an hour and a half.
I'm so scared she's going to go into hypo state.
She's eating kibble and a higher carb Friskies pate.
Should we call our vet??
 
Give her some karo on that kibble. My concern is that she's had too much insulin. So there's nothing to do but FEED it. Don't worry about overfeeding her. Put some honey or some karo on the kibble and let her eat.
 
You can always rub it on her gums ... it will be absorbed. The high sugar content will give her a quick boost but this i something you need to be able to monitor for the next 12 + hours.
Feed her kibble and sugar and wait 20 minutes and test again. Then Post.

Please make a new thread and label it like this:

4.16.15 Jubilee +3 32 HELP and go ahead and label it with the 911 precursor.
 
Alright, she just ate about 1 tablespoon of FP mixed grill, a small handful of kibble and my husband gave her a finger drop of karo.
Should I retest her in half an hour?
Yep, definitely too much insulin for one shooting!
 
Keep testing every 30 minutes for at least the next couple of hours

The karo can bring her up quickly, but it can wear off quickly too

Do you have any "Gravy Lovers" types of food in the house?
 
Yes .. no more than half an hour. The sugar high will burn off quickly so you're going to need to keep this up for hours to come.
 
You're all good Kadie - you've got this and you've got backup from everyone here. It's good that she's had some syrup and once the carbs from the kibble kick in she should start to level out at a higher number. Just keep testing and posting her numbers every 30 minutes and we'll talk you through what you need to do next.
 
Just checked her BG at 1:55pm MST and it was 45.
So up 13 numbers in about half an hour.
Also, I can't seem to update her spread sheet online...
 
Start using only the other thread, Kadie. We're all following it there.

Update your numbers in the title so it's easy to see. for instance: Jub +4 (32) +4.5 (45) +..etc.

And please keep testing every 30 minutes. That number will drop when that sugar wears off.

Use the other thread from here forward.

ETA new thread link
