Bowies PS values are decreasing and I lowered his dose the 16/7 by 0,5U.
Today, his PS was pretty low, and I lowered the dose with 0.25U. He got a gourmet gold 20 minutes before the injection, but his values got lower after the gourmet.
His values are in his ss. Am I doing this right?

I’m looking at your spreadsheet. I see the green number 94 at +3. Did you give a snack? If not, I would give a snack and keep testing at +4
 
Also, I don’t see anything in your spreadsheet for last night, July 25. There’s no preshot test recorded or anything in the units given, etc.
 
He eats dry kibble? What kind?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see his food, both wer and kibble, are high in carbs (I see you mentioned 19 percent in your previous post.)

I gave him 2U as usual, no pw but reading 2,5h before shot

It’s potentially dangerous to shoot with no preshot test because you have no idea if he has a low preshot number and if it is safe to give the full dose. And then you gave 2 units and no more tests before bed? To see if the dose is taking him too low?
 
Will you please pit 2 in the units column for last night then?

You have been getting some really beautiful numbers on Bowie. He seems to be making excellent progress. :)
 
I have one more question. What kind of meter are you using? Your first thread mentioned a pet meter, but then on your spreadsheet I saw mention of a human meter. It’s important for anyone looking at your spreadsheet to be aware of which kind of meter you are using.

In the ss, I'm using g pet plus, but in remarks I mention values PS on human meters, in parenteses. This is information for me to use as a reference interval in the future.
G pet plus is stated as the meter in the header of the ss.

Yeah, he really loves his kibble. Have tried to go BARF and total wet food since I got him, but he refuses. Right now I'm reducing his kibble and upping the wet food, and it's going really great.

Right. I was just thinking of July 25. Since there were numbers in for today, July 26.

The data is there, but I have two rows after that. It messes with my head too :D But I don't know how to add second PS value in the same cell withouth it botching the data in the cell, so I just added a blank row for +30 min retest PS.

Yeah, it was hard enough to get him to eat anything but his z/d, because that was the love of his life. He's allergic to chicken, so that makes everything harder.

Yeah, since chicken is everywhere in cat food! I understand about the z/d. I used to have a cat with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and he was on z/d. All of my cats wanted to eat that expensive dry food. This was before they even made the wet z/d, I believe.
