Sorry Guys,

Ive been running around like crazy. Louies #'s did come back up. I just checked them again and they are now at 166. I also managed to get the blood from his ear this time. Go me!

I had returned the Huge package of canned food with gravy (48 cans) but I went back out a little while ago and got a few cans of food w/ gravy to keep on hand (that had been my plan...I needed to go out and get regular food anyway).

Louie never showed any symptoms of his blood sugar dropping (at least not very noticeable). Im glad it came back up and all seems ok now!

So, now that I am testing, what is the sugar level that I should be aiming for? Also, im assuming I should drop the isulin down tonight?? If so, how much? Hes been getting 4 units. I give it to him at 10:30...so he has 1 1/2 hours to go.

Thanks for all the help!!!

P.s. Next time theres an issue I will def start a new thread (as per your suggestions). I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. lol
 
clearly his current dose is too much as he went dangerously low today.

more than likely if you test him again at test time his number could be much higher than it is. that though could be a response to going too low today. when they go low like that, the body often will throw whatever it's got at it to save itself. the key is to not react to the sky high numbers by shooting the high dose again. if you do, kitty gets on a roller coaster of high low high low high low and that doesn't feel good obviously.

i'm leaning towards 1 unit at the most, IF the number is much higher than it is right now. normally we tell people and kitties new to this to not shoot anything if kitty is under 200. as you test and get some data in the coming days then you can adjust up if need be

(i've got a splitting headache at the moment and hope i make sense :-) )
 
Hi laura.
Try to get another test around 10:00. You need to know he's going up by shot time. Post the number and we can figure out a dose.

Sorry, just got back on.
I was hoping someone would give dose advice. I would definitely NOT think about 4units on a 350.
at most 1 or 1.5
Carl
 
Sorry i typo'd. "On a 250".
I would be safe and shoot 1 unit

Offer is still open for me to come & show you how to test in the ear!
Paw testing is ok But has some draw backs, I'm sure the peeps here on health have told you--
I did call you--Hope all is well Good that you bring him downstairs--was glad to see it!
 
Hey Roni!!!

Thank you for the msg! I actually figured out how to test on the ear and have been using the ears the vast majority of the time. :-)

My phone has been acting funky, so I did not realize you called! Thank you so much for all your help!!!!

How is Moonie doing?
