? Dosing help ASAP

Sam is at 141 and I'm currently stalling. This morning was her first dose of .75 of Prozinc.

Should I skip the shot or give a reduced shot if she is the same or lower when I retest her?

 

If you can watch her and get a +2 or +3 I'd give it, and be prepared to steer if necessary. If you are concerned I would give a little less. But I'd wait and see what other people think. I'm not a fan of giving dose advice but that's what I would do.

 

Thanks. We are supposed to be leaving the house shortly so I'm not sure if I want to give the full dose. I feel confident in being able to steer her BG though if I am home. I just don't want to start a bouncing episode by not giving any insulin at all or not enough.

 

I understand, just do whatever you are most comfortable with. I'm very cautious so less is more sometimes if you know what I mean.

 

Yes, I understand. Her new test was 153. It seems she may be on the way back up. I know the meters have a 20% variance so hopefully its not the same reading and just a variable number

 

That sounds like a very similar number to me, but she probably is rising a little.

@Rachel what would you advise?

 

Hey guys! I answered on your other thread in Prozinc (sorry I wasn't here earlier!). You're leaving the house shortly? How long will you be gone?

 

I just responded on the Prozinc thread. Thanks!
