    I checked Charleston's BG at pmps +4 and his BG is 49. He doesn't seem to have any symptoms, but I went ahead and have him half a can of FF gravy lovers. I checked him again 20 minutes later and he is now at 62. I gave him a half a can of FF pate. What should I do next? Just keep monitoring every 20 minutes-ish or give him more HC foods?

    Yesterday he had a mildly symptomatic incident (urgent meowing/begging for food, legs shaking) at BG 57. I dropped his dose .25U after that. What should I do with his am shot tomorrow after this? Give another .25U dose reduction or an even lower dose?

    Thanks!

    Test again in 30 minutes and as long as he's stable or climbing, test again in an hour (if he drops again, go back to testing every 20-30)

    Back to back reductions often fail, but it's perfectly fine for you to decrease another .25 for tomorrow's dose.

    If it ends up not being enough, you can always go back up to 1.75

    Thank you @Chris & China (GA)! :bighug:

    I'll keep testing as you suggested. I'll plan to decrease in the morning and see what happens from there. Might be time for me to post over in the ProZinc forum for some dosing advice too.

    How is it going this morning Caitlin? I remember the weekend drop. He’s earning back to back reductions! As Chris said, hope it sticks !! :bighug:

    Thanks Ale, I sure hope it sticks too! He's good this morning, but had a slightly higher than normal amps (BG 366). Just checked him at +6 and his BG is 108. I wasn't sure if he might get really bouncy, but looks like he is still in pretty good shape. The low numbers have been scary, but happy to be seeing more blues and greens.

    108 is a great number at +6 so it may just take him a bit of time to go down on the preshots too :)
