Sugar after 12 hours is 123: Insulin tonight?

[Steph]

Casey has been on 2 IU ProZinc, 2X day and this morning, we gave 1.5 because his mom and I "felt" he doesn't need as much.

Just tested and he's at 123! After 12 hours.

(I read "don't give insulin if reading is below 120." )

I feel now that we may have been giving him too much. Yes, we have been testing every couple days at 6 hours, and getting great readings in 120s, 130s.

Goal is to reduce it, yes, maybe get him off?

What to give tonight?

Thank you from SoCal, and excuse all these questions. I don't know...

Do you have a spreadsheet I can see?

If not, I am hoping a pzi member will chip in although I don't see anyone on right now, but with that reading I would stall 30minutes and don't feed to see if he goes up naturally.. And if he does then maybe also give a slightly reduced dose.

Yes, I do have a sheet. Here it is.

Retesting will be a big deal, because of the black ear, hidden vein thing I've described on here previously. He's not my cat--a neighbor's.

We have to operate with minimal testing.

Thanks for help, truly.

If in doubt then skip.

Ok. Will skip tonight and give 1.5 tomorrow morning.
