[Deb & Wink]

Yeah blues! We love seeing some blues.
Reduced dose (10-25% of the current dose), if you are able to stall and not feed Lucy at PMPS and she has not come up yet.
0.75 times 10% = 0.07 so less than the first line on the syringe.
0.75 times 25% = 0.1875 so about 0.2U of insulin. Still quite a small dose, and hard to measure.

Skip if the BG is <150 and does not come back up within 1 hour. You need to NOT feed and retest every 20 minutes, to see if the BG's come up to a safer level to shoot the regular 0.75U dose.

The questions to ask yourself are can you stay up and test later if Lucy throws you low numbers? Do you know how to deal with low numbers and have your hypo toolkit ready to go?

That information is in the Prozinc dosing protocol document.

I just tested her if she was 116. But unfortunately I already fed her. I got your message after I fed her. I was just going to skip Do you recommend that. Yes I can stay up all night and yes I have my hypo kit

 

[Panic]

I'm sorry, I never got this tag. This site really needs to look into this bug.

Did you decide to skip? That would have been the safe thing since you already fed.

Yes I skipped..I will monitor her through the night

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

Did not get the tag either.

Nice blues.

I will monitor her through the night

Think you can give a snack and go to bed after +3 if number is similar or higher.

Nite to you.

 

[8catsplus2]

Nite to you.

Good night to you too.. Do you think if her # are still under 200 should I give her .50 or .75 at her AMPS

 

[Panic]

If she's under 200 tomorrow remember to stall feeding and see if she hits 200 on her own.
If she's still between 150 and 200 after stalling give her a reduced dose like Deb said above, 0.07 to 0.20 u.
Under 150 skip.

@Panic how long is a stall

 

[Panic]

Usually 20-30 minutes, then retest.

Thanks how many times do I stall b4 I can feed her

 

[Panic]

If she's still not up after about an hour you can skip or token dose. Don't want to go too far from your schedule.

She was 172 just now and 179 an hour ago

 

[Panic]

Okay, I see you skipped but a token dose would have been alright. Nice job stalling today.

I fill more comfortable skipping I also need to keep her shot time @ 7 am and 7 pm

 

[Panic]

Gotta stay on schedule!

 

[8catsplus2]

Gotta stay on schedule!

Yes Even though I hate getting up at 7:00 in the morning. I can't have it much later than that because if I have to go somewhere (doctor appointment for Mom or dad) I'd have to leave by 8:00 which would throw a monkey wrench into everything.
Thanks for your help
