PM DOSE NEEDED

[Heather&Harrison]

Hey so this morning we dosed at 1.75u and he dropped really low. I panicked a bit and i think i over fed him with chicken and gravy x2 and some maple syrup.

Now his pmps was 17.6/317.
What do we dose for in 30mins

Thanks

That 1.9 means an immediate reduction from the 1.75U dose this morning.

I would dose no more than 1.5U, unless a Caninsulin person comes in with different advice (I am more familiar with Lantus insulin). Just wanted to get you a reply since there is a time crunch.

Hi Heather,
I would reduce the dose down to 1.5 units after that drop to 34 this morning.

Adding: the important thing is that even though he's back up high at this pre-shot, you still need to take the reduction to 1.5U. He's told you, very clearly, that 1.75U is still too much insulin .

Are you feeding 1/2 hour before the shot? And are you giving him snacks early on in the cycle to help stop the big drops?
I don’t think you panicked this morning, you did well to get him back up. The high PMPS is a bounce from the 34 .....normal for this to happen. I agree with Nan, just because he’s bounced doesn’t mean you don’t need to reduce....definitely reduce the dose.

Awesome thanks everybody. we just dosed 1.5u.

And we will continue to monitor him tonight

I'd have gone down to 1.0 max.

Mogs your right. We just checked him @ +2 and he is in the green at 3.9.

We are going to give him some snacks as i suspect he is going to keep dropping.

I kinda thought 1.5u was a lot considering last night we micro dosed at .25u and he stayed in the blue
