Your best bet for dose advice is Elizabeth who is not on right now. First what you should do is DO NOT FEED yet and retest again to see if the number is going up, staying the same or going down. If it is going up then you should be able to shoot but I don't know what sort of dose with the hypurin. If it is the same or lower, wait again without feeding and retest in about another 20 minutes to see what the numbers are doing.. You could try doing the @ Elizabeth and Bertie and that should send an e-mail alert to her.
ETA:
You did shoot a 12.6 a couple of days ago with the 0.75 dose, so you may be safe with your current dose, but you would need to be able to monitor her levels for a few tests before bed.

You're welcome. Sorry I can't be more help but I realize that Hypurin is different than the other PZI/Prozinc insulins and has a carryover effect that the others don't so that makes the usual dosing protocols more difficult.

It looks like you went with a token dose, which is fine. If you aren't sure, and especially going into the night time hours, less is always a wise choice. I'm sorry you don't get much response from PZI users on dosing, but your insulin doesn't not act like the one we are used to, and we don't want to give bad advice.
