Can you monitor him today? Like yesterday? I don't think you need to go down as low as 1 unit necessarily. No more than 2 certainly. You could go up from yesterday's 1 unit to 1.5, perhaps, to see how he goes on that when starting with a yellow AMPS.

I can monitor him closer after 9am, they work me up at 4 and i have been up since...i wanted to catch a little nap but i can be on top of him if need be

But right now it is 6 am.- so you cannot test until 9 am (+3)? Is that right? That leaves too much room for him to drop in the first three hours. I don't know if I am understanding it correctly.

Ill do 1.5 and check him at his +2

If you are going to be gone a lot later today then maybe you just should do a standard 1 unit for today. Remember, this is temporary and we can gather data on Rory to see how the 1 unit works. Otherwise, I don't think I would go beyond 1.5 units. He may go high, but as I said it would be temporary.

Sounds good, Melissa. You are doing such a fantastic job of this with Rory! I can tell how much you love him. And you have another cat named Kobe?

I do!! Rory is my baby who I rescued from a hoarding home...he saved me more than I saved him. Kobe was found a year ago when we moved to vegas...he's my little teenage rebellion who loves rory so much and rory tolerates him lol I would do anything for my boys!!
 
Did you decide to go with 1 unit instead of 1.5 units? I see 1 on the spreadsheet. Was just checking to see if you got a +1 on him. Waiting until +1.5? I believe you said that you would get a +1.5 BG reading.

Sorry yes I went with 1U to be safe cause I was in and out of sleep, and especially with him throwing up this morning I just wanted to edge on the side of caution

Spreadsheet looks good for a day where you chose 1 unit. I think if you were up to your usual self then a little bit of a higher dose would have been good... but as we see, he did pretty well in blues on the 1 unit. That's why when I saw the 2.25 on the spreadsheet first thing in the morning I got a little panicky! I then found out that you hadn't shot the insulin and we had our discussion. It's all very good! You may want to try keeping him at 1 unit while you are ill and see how it goes, but do try to gather data (as you did today) because he's really got something going on (something good it looks like!) I hope everything went all right today with doctors, etc.
