Can you stall 15 minutes without feeding, and test again. That will tell you if she is going up, flat or down.
Have you selected a dosing method yet?

Yes working on getting to TR. Was doing slgs until she was off dry food. She's only been off dry food a couple of days so I don't really want to start anything else until I know what her sugar will do without all the dry. I stalled 15 and she went up to 170.

I'm also starting a new job next week so I'm trying to make her dosing schedule a couple hours earlier to fit in with my new schedule so this is really putting a damper on it haha I can't really stall much longer
You have shot 198 before. What do you feel about 170? Do you have plenty of test strips, high carb food, and can you monitor closely if needed tonight?

Yes I do. Should I shoot the whole dose? She has a tendency to dip low very fast and idk how low she went today bc I wasn't home to test. I'm thinking she went lowwww with numbers like this right now.

I'm thinking her body is just seeing the results from getting the kibble all out.

If you have plenty of supplies (strips, MC and HC food) and can test as much as necessary tonight, I'd go ahead and shoot the scheduled dose.
Get a +1 and +2 so if you need to intervene, you can do it early
When you shoot lower numbers, the cycle tends to be flatter. If you shoot a reduced dose, the first part of the cycle will play out like you shot a full dose, due to the depot. This has to be your call. Are you ready? Delaying too much also acts a bit like a reduction. Also remember that you are not shooting her numbers now, but where they will be in a couple hours at onset.
