Hello everyone,
We are in our second week now of insulin injections and testing. The vet has increased Peter's dose to 2 units of ProZinc. Per her instructions, we are now testing twice a day just before feeding and dosing him. This evening however I got stuck at work late due to an emergency, and Peter absolutely would not cooperate with my husband's attempts to do the test. He fed him and dosed him at the normal interval, and then I was able to come do the test about 20 minutes later when I got home. The level came up at 331, the lowest we've seen yet. (I think the low-carb diet the last week has been steadily bringing things down, which is great). My question is how quickly the insulin dose takes effect, and so how far "off" is this reading likely to be?
Thanks!
Chelsea
