skip or lower dose?

[Mouse & Me]

Since this afternoon, I've been feeding Mouse the slightly higher Carb food, no honey, no gravy. I do that when she hits under 50. then, the numbers climb up quickly to yellow numbers. Despite the hc foods, ( instead of 0%-3%, I gave her 8%, even 12%).

She's getting fantastic numbers, but numbers that would be a lot lower if I didn't up her carbs.

Each time I tested, it showed a slight increase, so I fed her more. I've never seen anything like it before.

Eight o'clock is coming upon us, and I'm leaning towards just lowering the dose to 2.75. I don't know the reason for skips, and instinctively wonder if this is one of those times.
She usually goes low at night.

That 44 earns a reduction to 2.75 units. I hope she gives you a nice number to shoot tonight.

People usually skip when they get a number they don't feel comfortable shooting and/or are unable to monitor. We try to discourage skipping, as it throws the depot off, but there are some situations where it is the best choice.

Can you get a+11 or +11.5 and post for advice if you are still unsure about shooting? Remember, even though you reduce the dose to the new amount tonight, there will still be the depot affecting things, so you'll need to monitor for a while to see if Mouse is dropping or bouncing.

Congrats on the reducie!

We open just one post a day, to keep the volume manageable. Here is your later post: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/skip-or-lower-dose-really-unsure.179480/

A nap now might be a good idea.
