I totally forgot to start logging things for a few weeks, and I've been all over the place as far as whether or not I remember to log her numbers when I test her mid-cycle, so I apologize. I'm frustrated tonight because she was at 151 at her 6 hour mark, and then when I tested her pre- PM shot, she's up to 523!! Is that a bounce? Or has she been bouncing every day? It seems like 2 wasn't getting her down far enough, 3/3.25 gets her lower but then she's usually in the 400's for her pre-shot numbers, and then tonight... Ugh. Also, we were instructed to give her 4 units in the AM and then 3 PM (so I can sleep at night without worrying too much), but 4 took her down into the low 40's on my meter (she was ok, but I did put a little honey on her gums just in case and her numbers came back up relatively quickly) and I'm too scared to keep trying that, which is why I've adjusted her AM dose. Should I be giving the same dose at night as I do in the AM? I'll definitely test her a couple of times tonight and add those to my spreadsheet in case there's not enough data here... But just looking for some advice. She is still eating a little bit of dry food, but way more often she is eating wet food (FF pate only for wet). I also don't have a ketone monitor or strips but I will see if I can find some tomorrow. That might have to be something I order which ordering anything to this little island takes an eternity, so I'm a little stressed out. Please helppppp.
