PMPS in Blue should I dose?

We just started monitoring BG daily and Comet's BG was 169 and he hasn't eaten as much food as normal because it's not the kind he likes but it's all we have right now. He is slowly working his way through it though. I don't know if I should give him his insulin (1U Lantus) because we had to skip last night due to an emergency (not with Comet) and I'm worried about doing that two days in a row.

 

I can't access your spreadsheet. Did you press the share button?

 

I apologize I updated it so it should work but like I said we only started checking today so it may not be very helpful

 

Ok I can see it now thanks.
Did you do any testing during the am cycle today?
It is not a good idea to keep skipping the doses?
Are you able to test frequently tonight if you give the insulin?
Do you have plenty of strips to test and some high carb food and honey?

 

I am really low on test strips and have to do a curve this weekend which is why I haven't tested this week I am waiting for my strips to arrive. I can test throughout the night if I give him some but it may mean I can't do his curve.

 

Who did the tests during the day in the 17th

 

That was the first curve we did and then the vet had us lower the dose but that is why I am low on strips

 

@Hales + Comet
I think probably itwould be best to SKIP the shot as you have no data really and the 169 is with the Alphatrak meter.
Comet has no history of ketones or DKA has he?

 

No he does not

 

Great. Ok Skip the shot.

 

Thank you. you have been very helpful

 

My pleasure. Keep asking lots of questions. I am so glad you are home testing and keeping Comet safe!

 

When you have some time, have a look at the yellow stickies at the top of the Lantus page.there are 2 dosing methods we use.....the tight regulation(TR) and the Start Low GoSlow method (SLGS). Link below. Have a look at both and see which one you think suits you better. Following one of those will make things much easier. Once you decide, pop the method into your signature so we can see.
