Is this 182 the evening PS? If so you can stall without feeding for 20 minutes and retest. You want to know if she's on the way up or not. If she gets over 200, give the 0.75 u dose and be prepared to monitor. If she barely touches 200, lower the dose to 0.5 u and monitor. If she stays close to where she is or drops, don't give any insulin tonight.

This is her PM test. 
i already fed her. Shes learned that if i test her, shes getting food. So she stands long enough for me to test and then takes off to the sink because she knows I'll put water in her food. Then she runs to her spot for the dish.... maybe ill skip this shot all together and see what happens.....

I'd go ahead and give her a teaspoon or two of her regular low carb food and see if you can slow her down a little and test again in 30 minutes
She's very close to our "take action" point of 50

I gave her a little of her FF chicken and liver. Will test in about 30 mins.
