I just got a small urine sample from Dottie. (Not that the amount would change a test)..and her keytones are slightly up. Does this mean I need to increase her insulin? Yesterday there was only a trace of keytones..the color on the stick was definitely showing an increase.

For the past two days her BG hasn't really gone down like it should. To be fair, I've been trying to shift her food from Friskies to FF..and it's a little bit of a change, but enough that it could stress her system. Am I being correct in assuming that?

At any rate, today I boosted her insulin from .5u to .75u, and it didn't seem to make a difference. When the +2 after injection window arrives..and then the +3, I don't see the drop I should be seeing.

So my question is, should I raise her insulin up to 1u? (ProZinc) I got a whole 5 hours of sleep last night so I'm good to go. I can even bake a batch of brownies to keep me going. I will be right there to catch her if she falls.

Oh, sorry about the spreadsheet. Some editing is getting done on the template for me. I don't want to get in the way of that.
 
Since you do not have a SS setup can you just post resent BGs?
AM PS (morning pres shot)
+ X when x is horus after shot and then give BG
PM PS )evening BG before shot)
 
Re the ketones, since they're above trace I'd recommend getting Dottie checked over by your vet. With the appetite issues it would be safer.
 
Thanks for the advice, Mogs, and everyone.

GOOD NEWS! I have solved Dottie's food problems. I will put that in another post. Haven't tested her keytones today. I'm waiting for her to descend on the litterbox. If they're up, I will call the vet asap.
