Stalling - BG 119, please help

[Trick&Christmas]

Hi folks,

Trick's BG this morning was 123. I waited 20 minutes and tested again and it was 119.

I went ahead and fed him an hour ago and just tested and he is up to 419.

He is on 3.25 units right now, I'm trying to figure out what dose to give. Please help

I'm pretty sure the vetsulin thread doesn't get much attention besides Deb so that's why I'm over here.

I think I'm just going to give a low dose (1 u) and check him hourly.

Sorry, but I don't know anything about Vetsulin. I'm wondering what you fed him prior to him jumping to 419?

I don't know vetsulin very well either, but I think a partial dose was a good call here.

I'm also puzzled by that very fast jump. You got two readings of the low number, so presumably that wasn't an error, is it possible the 419 was??? Glad you'll be testing hourly, let's see where he goes from here!

I did feed him before it jumped to 419. In ~30 minutes I'll test him again.

I thought he would be a disoriented with a jump like that but he's had the zoomies. My cat baffles me lol

I’m glad you got more attention with a new thread. Did you give a reduced dose?

Hmmm, looks like he's up to stay! Vetsulin usually shows peak action fairly early (+4 or +5), I think, so if he's still up at the next test, I think you can probably give him a break for a while. He is likely bouncing from a lower number last night and will be up for a while.

I did! 1 unit

He did go back up so I think he has peaked. I'll let him chill out until PMPS.
