Help For Molly #15

Oh Wow! Looks like it's a skip this AM and a reduction to a drop again. Retest her to make sure she isn't still dropping. I assume you fed her.
 
Glad to see that 70. Retest before you leave and you can leave her a bit more food this AM just to be sure she stays steady. She'll probably bounce but better too high than too low and there is still the depot from previous shots at work.
 
Well that would surely make Molly feel punky. My old guy can look like death warmed over before he produces a hairball...bad enough I would warn pet sitters not to panic by how he was acting if he was still eating. Didn't want to end up with a vet visit/bill for something so mundane that could be handled with hariball remedy. :rolleyes:
 
I'm wondering if she is still in a bounce from that very low BG the other day and it is a night cycle. With the long weekend coming up, I'm guessing you'll be able to keep a better eye on her then so I think if you want, you could hold off and do an increase either tomorrow night or Sat AM. I just don't want to see the bounce break on a work night.
 
Would have been a good morning to stall and retest without feeding to see if she is rising in her own at this point in time.

If she's been fed, I'm a bit torn. I think you could give her the drop but I think it's safer to skip today since she's a bit unpredictable right now. She'll catch up on the weekend.
 
That seems to really impact her numbers. I guess it's good to have that extra check (her BG) to know when she might need some help at the back end. :p
 
I think you are Ok with the 0.10u dose if you can test at lunch time and just leave food down for her in your absence. If you are uncomfortable with that or can't test at lunch, then reduce to a drop for this dose.
 
Linda's probably having a nap. She was up most of the night on another thread.

That's a big bounce. Not much you can do until PMPS shot time except test again to make sure it wasn't a wonky strip. Then test again at +10 or +11 to see which way Molly is headed.
Any chance she got into contraband food?

I tested at Lunch and then again 1/2 hour later. Thought it might be a wonky strip. But she was 21 and not contraband.
 
Darn, I was hoping for one or the other. Get a +10 or +11 if you can.

Waving to your beautiful part of the land from Ontario. The DH spent a bit of time as a child in Sandon (now it's just a ghost town).

Come t think of it, There was beet juice on the place mat that she was licking this morning? I forgot to wipe up last night after supper.
I'm originally from Nova Scotia been out here with DH for 13 years now. I'll have to see how far we are from Sandon.
 
Oh my! What a shocker that must have been after that beautiful green this AM. I doubt that was just the skipped shot. The beet juice could do it and I'm betting her numbers will be down even more tonight.
Glad Kel was here to help. She was right. I was napping! :)
 
So you think the beet juice raised her BG? She's been out of sorts since this morning. Sleeping lots but ate quite a bit at lunch time. Do I still give her insulin tonight? depending on her BG? I'll be late tonight getting home. Will you be available to help?
 
While I can't stay up too late tonight, I will be online at your usual shot time of 6pm (9pm my time) and for a couple of hours after that. Let's see what BG is at PMPS and then decide if shot should be given or not.
 
No I wouldn't increase after that lovely 4.9 this AM. Technically you could decrease to a drop given this AM's BG but I don't think you need to. That 13.7 tonight is just a product of a bounce from the green and perhaps the dregs of the beet juice. Stick with 0.10u for now.
