    Finn’s numbers have been pretty good for a few days so of course thunderstorms and fireworks... I was excited to see he was below 200 AMPS but before I could get his +6 the first round of storms came through and sent him cowering. Then a longer, louder thunderstorm rolled through and he went into hiding under the couch. Storms finally ended (for now?) but he’s not eaten much at all today and I really don’t know if it’s worth stressing him to see what his BG is since I’m sure it will be high from stress. Do you dose? Skip dose? I’m inclined to skip because he’s already soooo stressed and barely eating but don’t know if that’s best either. I feel so terrible for him, I’m just trying to do what’s best for him :(

    The eating little my result in a lower BG before next shot.
    UI would not do that.
    I wold just dose based on the BG. Since you are using ProZinc, a non-depot insulin, it OK to give a reduce dose for a lower than expected value
