Good morning! Sorry for the delay in getting back with you guys, I have a 17 month old human baby too. I got to the store 1st thing this morning for carb foods and smaller syringes. My husband actually got up and checked Spankys BG at 2am (+8) and it was 117, so I didnt get back up till 6am. Before I fed Spanky at 9am, his BG was 274, so I gave him 1/2 unit to see how today goes. I'm off work today, so I can check him periodically. Thank you again for all your help, it means so much.
