And now we have a lime green...

Spot just scored his first <50 reading. Feeding him some high carb food now and will recheck in 15 minutes. Ahhhh.... guess the low carb food is working

Woohoo up to 59! I’ll check again in half an hour but up is good

Up is definitely good. And good that you caught the lime green.

Do not feed too much. You want to keep Spot a bit on the hungry side in case he drops again and you need to feed him. You will need to test every 20-30 minutes until the numbers are rising on their own (without the help of higher carbs).

Do you have karo/honey on hand? Lots of strips?

I have already taken my bedtime meds and cannot stay with you. If things get hairy, post a 911 in the Main Health Forum. It's late at night. If you do not get a response, post a 911 in the Lantus forum.

Spot has dropped a bit from that 59. Carbs wear off quickly. Give him a low carb snack and test again in 30 minutes.

Thank you for the advice! Yes I have syrup & strips. He’s at 56 now at +6. Still too close for comfort so I’ll continue keeping an eye on him. He’s eating a little but not too much and otherwise seems fine, so I’m just watching and waiting at this point.

I'm swaying on my chair. Bed for me. I hope Spot does not keep you up half the night. You are doing a great job monitoring and keeping Spot safe.

Holler if need be.

He seems to be on the way back up now. I'll check once more before I head off to bed too. Thank you for keeping an eye out with me! Sleep well

Good catch!
