Victor's PMPS number is 327 and I was wondering if there's any chance anyone can tell me within the next 20 minutes whether or not that's okay to give his full 2 units of Humulin or should it be lowered?

I'm still new at this as well, and I just don't know what numbers would be considered at the range where it would be safer to give a lower dose than the full one. I'm probably just being over-cautious, but I just don't want to risk his numbers going too low, because if we were to have an emergency and needed to take him to the vet, we don't have a car, so I don't know what we would do.

I understand! It's only been a week for us! I would stay with the regular dose for now. It's always a good idea to test around 3-5 hours after the shot, especially at night when they tend to run just a skosh lower than during the day. It depends on how late you stay up, I suppose 
Have you read and printed what to do in case of a hypo? I saw the corn syrup post, so I'm assuming you're just generally being cautious, which is great to be prepared!

Yes, just being cautious
I've just seen that there's like a dark-colored Karo syrup and a clear one, and I just didn't know if it mattered which one you used.

Yes.Yeah, as long as it's corn syrup it shouldn't matter
You've read the sticky post about Humulin?

Okay, thanks, I'll be sure to remember that for next time.
