Timmy's PMPS is 189. I am holding feeding him for 20 minutes in hopes that it will come up. I am going to need some guidance on dosing tonight.

I believe you can stall up to an hour. He seems to be going up about 15 to 20 per 20 minutes. Do you have a no shot number for him that you go by?

Thanks for the reply. No, I don't have a no shot number to go by. These blues at shot time are brand new territory for us. I remembered Kris had said to stall for 20-30 minutes without feeding for up to an hour. Thank you for confirming that. Overall I stalled without feeding for over an hour with tests in between. I think I did that right...I hope. Anyway we ended up giving a token dose of 0.25 units. I keep second guessing myself as to what I should have done with the dose tonight. I will be testing at +2, +4...... Thank you so much, again for your reply tonight.
 
I am also hesitant at times with the blue preshot numbers. It's better to give a token low dose to keep your boy safe. Too high of a dose can be deadly while a lower dose may bring higher numbers for a short time. Just remember better to be high for a minute then too low for a moment. I really try to follow that saying on the FDMD board.:)
 
Hi Susan,

I'm just seeing this now. You did the right thing stalling and shooting a token dose. It's nerve wracking but the only way to learn how to deal with these situations is the live through them. I'm glad Lisa was around to help.
