Hello All, let me preface this with 2 things:
-I have not been able to successfully use the template and I have already posted to the tech support forum about it
-I am also going to post this on the lantus forum
If you are going to say either of these things to me please don't bother, I have been told this ad nauseum, what I am hoping for is feedback from you all about what you have done re: dose etc after this sort of incident.
Here is today's readings
6:56am 158
fed and gave .5u per my vets instructions last weekend
9:30am 58
12:56pm 40
called vet, fed him and gave him honey
1:29pm 67
1:59pm 94
2:29pm 109
4:18pm 144
Julius seemed very tired and not himself earlier. He still seems tired now. I am not going to give him insulin tonite regardless because I don't think its a good idea. My vet said to not give him any unless he goes over 200. I am going to continue testing him until I go to bed and in the AM test him and call the vet for advice on dose.
thanks for the input, it totally freaked me out!
 
Re: Julius went down to 40 today

I gave you a spreadsheet link that I thinks works on that Tech thread. Let me know.

Numbers are scary for you early on. The good news is that the insulin is working well. Since you are posting on Lantus, you should get good dosing advice there.
 
Re: Julius went down to 40 today

bless your heart! i got the template, now I need to fill it out. Here is a dumb question what does the +1 +2 etc. mean?? I want to fill it out right!
thanks again!
 
Re: Julius went down to 40 today

We live in different time zones so we use +2 to explain a number that we got 2 hours after the shot. +6 is six hours after the shot, etc.
 
Re: Julius went down to 40 today

Wow gang! I finally got my template working!! Go me!! no thanks in small part to you all. Let me say a few things. The first 2 days he was at the vet, hence the ? for certain readings. The others is because I was testing when I got home from work at 4-4:30pm and not when I gave him his shot at 7-7:30pm, I make no excuses it was totally lame, just so you know why his template looks that way.....
 
Re: Julius went down to 40 today

it's not lame at all...
took me some time and a lot of help to get familiar with the tech stuff and lingo here.

Wow, julius!!! 40???

Julius just tested at 302, no ketones.. going to test again in a bit his evening shot is at 7:15pm. He was 266 at 7:15pm, I am skipping his PM shot because I really don't know where he is going right now, going to test again before I hit the sack. I am calling my vet in the AM to see what they think.
