Hi all, I'm relatively new to this -- only about 6 weeks in. About a week ago, my girl Lilly's post-PM numbers dipped pretty low. She displayed no "hypo" symptoms whatsoever, but with some help of some in the Facebook group, I gave some honey, wet food, and HI-carb dry kibble to bring her back up. Of course I wanted to update the vet about the dip, and she and the members on Fb all definitely suggested a dose reduction. So, we did that, and the vet wanted to use caution and not shoot below 300 for a bit. Sometimes, I'll get a perfectly normal pre-shot number. Effectively, that has amounted to skipping almost every other dose, and we even got a 105 after 48 hours without a shot. Of course she bounced right back up, though. The vet (and I) think her dose was clearly maybe too high at 2.5 units. We've climbed all the way down to 0.5 units, now. I will talk to the vet tomorrow, but I also wanted some input from you all about how to make sense of Lilly's numbers right now and where we should go from here? (SS should be linked below.)
