Hello. I just joined as I am in some facebook groups and was recommended to join here as well. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight as to what I should do now. I recently started her on prozinc insulin and since then her numbers keep going up, especially with the higher dose. I am going to do a curve tomorrow, but I am not sure what I’m doing wrong. Should I make an appointment with the vet to reevaluate her? thank you. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q2or8UmGnIfYd-qUDzNOKhMIT3waFlrU-2ynXJzlC8s/edit

Your spreadsheet doesn't look like the one we use ,also if you are using the Alpha Trak Meter the color coding for the last 2 cells are for using a human meter
Here is the link to our spreadsheet

Hi Melissa if you look at her SS does it look like ours?
 
Welcome!

What dose were you giving in September? Any explanation you can think of for the change in numbers? Food, illness, etc? The AlphaTrak does usually read higher but it's not usually that significant a difference.

No, I wouldn't take her back in. Ita pretty common to see high and flat numbers until you hit what we call a breakthrough dose. Just have to keep methodically increasing the dose until you break through into better numbers.

I will say that being in multiple groups, you are bound to get different opinions. Nothing wrong with that, but it can make things more confusing when just starting out so it may be easier for you to pick just one.

@Diane Tyler's Mom that is FDSGs spreadsheet. I personally don't mind since she's logging in US units anyway, but for consistency it's nice to have our format. I believe Bhooma is out of town for a week or so.
