Blood Glucose is 370 so my question is do I give her her 1.5 units of insulin like normal or should I give her less? Her lowest numbers happen around the 4 hour mark with a drop of anywhere from 125-200 something.
 
Not a prozinc user, but that's certainly high enough to shoot. Usually the no-shoot/caution number starting out is around 250 for a pet meter.

Ah, I see you just switched to a human meter. That is why the numbers you are seeing are a bit lower today. Still high enough to shoot, though.

Are you able to test during the day today?
 
As long as you are there for her, and have supplies (high carb food, honey/karo, lots of test strips), you'll keep her safe! It is definitely stressful, though, especially as you start to shoot lower numbers. Again, remember that the meter switch is going to lead to lower numbers all by itself, so be prepared!

How about a +2 to start? That will give you a sense of what she has in mind for the day.

Yes, ok so I will test a +2 and see where she is. And I have all the hypo supplies ready just in case.

I am so afraid of going to low, that my cat has too high BG most of the time and your cat's BG is high.
