Thanks Tara and Buster for asking the question for me. Scratch was on 1/2 pill of glipizide and 2 units of insulin when he had a mass hypo episode. I was not as prepared as I had wished to be and this was the first episode he has had since he has been on the glip. It took 4 hours to get him back down. I have made my spreadsheet for Scratch for that day up to today. We took him off the glip for now to see if we can get him leveled out, but he is up and down like a yo yo. He has been insulin dependent for over a year and I started doing the bgl testing myself after a vacation. We came home and had to call the vet because he was in hypo and I had no idea what to do. He is now on Grain Free Go canned cat food and went from taking 5 units of prozinc to 2 units with glip (this was what the vet did before I started testing myself). I had not been on a regular testing schedule, but I see now that I really need to be because he is obviously having problems with dosage. He was without episode for 3 months so I thought we were in the clear for now.
Could you please give me your opinion on the spreadsheet numbers. There is noone home during the day so I don't have many numbers besides the pre so far. I have been testing before food, after food/before shot and tonight I will test again, but not sure how long to wait before I test him again. It has been about 1 1/2 hours since he tested over 400.
Thanks!
