Hello,
I am still very new to the diabetes world and am seeking some direction. please see Jaxon's SS in my link. I think that his dose may be too high and increased too quickly from 2u to 3u twice daily. I feed wet food for main meals at 8am and 8pm prior to injecting. I also have just started giving Jaxon a snack around the time of his lowest bgl.
In the last couple of days i have held the evening dose on one occasion, the next am he was very high. two days after that i gave 1u rather then his 3 and had a similar effect although the numbers were better.
tonight i am considering to give 2 u even though his bgl is in the normal range.
any thoughts would be great.

The idea is to find a dose that you can shoot every 12 hours without him dipping too low and right now he is going too low..With someone just starting out we say not to give insulin unless they are over 200 at shot time. Over on the TR group there are excellent stickies on how to adjust the dose based on the curves. When in doubt post here or on health and someone will help you out.
