@Deb & Wink and @JanetNJ are rockstars!! I’m forever grateful for you two. Max is still in remission and happy as ever! good luck @garbagecat !! ☺️
Since he’s a relatively new diabetic, me personally, I would not shoot below 200. For me, once I got a feel for how Max was doing, 150 got to be my...
Glad to see you are waiting a week to decide on a dosage change. Tagging a few experts: @JanetNJ @Deb & Wink
Ok, so with insulin, less than 90 is a reduction of .25U. At 124, I personally would be hesitant to give any. I would feed him, but take this...
Skipping is ok if the numbers are low and normal. Remember too, the meter can be off + or - 15%. @JanetNJ Going to tag Janet as well and see if she...
Has it been an hour? Personally I wouldn’t shoot that low.
Also, per your question on FB, this would not be a dose reduction since it’s not insulin shot based.
Hi @Shelley & Jess. Not sure how I missed this tag, sorry. Yes, Max was a steroid kitty and towards the beginning of remission, we were doing dose...
Hello! Just saw your post on FB. My guy was on Prozinc prior to him going into remission. If he doesn’t go up much, I would not shoot. Right now,...

I wouldn’t recommend giving him dry, When I took Max off dry, his numbers went down 100 points. 6 units is a very high dosage. Most start out at...
A starting dose of 3, followed by 4 units seems very high. Generally they start at around 1-1.5 units. Definitely do some searching on this forum on...
I’m so proud of Max. Right now we are eating 3 times a day with FF and some dried chicken. His hair isn’t filling in, but doesn’t seem to be...
ahh, that’s ok. Give yourself time and you’ll be mastering it. I went through the ear many times. Did you do it freehand?
I totally understand the anxiety, but I promise it gets better.
Insulin shot bled? Lots of great videos on giving insulin shots. The tent method worked best for me between the shoulder blades at a 45 degree angle...
Not sure with Lantus, but I’m sure someone will have the answer.
The beauty of this site is we have people from all over the world so there is almost always someone on. I had a few night hypo events and thankfully...
If you manually pierce, be sure to put a cotton ball on the other side so you don’t pierce yourself. :) Speaking from experience lol
Please don’t ever feel dumb. We’ve all been where you are. This site was my Saving Grace and got me through it. Ask as many questions as you need to,...
