    We've never shot a PS this low before. In fact he's only been yellow at PS twice before this. Going to work for the longest amount of time today too. What's better . . . skipping? Giving only 1 unit? Or giving full dose with gravy on food? I know the food induced high doesn't last that long when its wet and he will need the boost more around 1 pm then now . . . .

    I did. But only 1 unit. He was 320 after 30 min. Ate well. Hope I didn't mess everything up with his depot and stuff.

    Next time you get a number above 200, you are safe to shoot the full dose. I would continue to test to see Tigger's response to a BCS.

    The problem is I can't test again until PMPS. Wasn't feeling safe this am.

    I'm glad you gave some insulin. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do. Safety comes first. He'll get back on track.

    So now tonight - do I go back to full dose or ease him up? base it on his PMBG? I'll be able to test as much as I can humanly stay awake if I have to. What is a little lost sleep anyway?!

    He didn't officially earn a reduction so you should go back to his full dose since you can monitor.

    Big Chicken Shot.. another term for a reduced dose when you don't want to give a full dose
