Another inject or not question!

[Sootyca]

Sky is due her injection in an hour or so.

Since she had her yearly vaccinations her BG has rocketed so after a few days of keeping her on a 0.75 dose and it not helping to bring her back to her "normal" range I increased her dose to 1 unit. As you can see from her sheet she dropped a lot during the day yesterday so she had a 0.75 last night. This morning she was back up again so had another 1 unit.

Tonight she has gone very low - usually at that level I wouldn't dose her but I'm not sure that that is correct. Should I give her a teeny tiny dose to try and tide her over with the hope she won't drop too much and it will give her a slight boost so she isn't too high tomorrow? I am around tonight to keep an eye on her but I'm concerned it will be too much for her even at the smallest dose I can do.

Well, I saw you gave a micro dose. Just make sure to keep monitoring.

For Leo (an acro-cat), our no-shoot number is 200. I have seen too many hypos on this forum. I'll repeat the advice I had from several vets though his whole acro ordeal. They each independently said "Keep Leo safe." I have been tempted to dose under 200 but haven't done it yet. We are also lucky that Leo has a great appetite.

I think you made a good decision.
