    Hello

    Noah this morning is 2.8… shall I jump the injection or give him a reduction? Today I cannot stay with him I have work . I know I didn’t take the last night bg numbers but I was away and the pet sitter was with him .

    Can you get a test before you leave for work? He often nadirs at the end of the cycle so he might just head up from here.
    Has he eaten?

    He has not earned a reduction. You need to drop below 50 to earn a reduction. It would be good if you can hold the dose. Sometimes stalling can cause numbers to fall further. I would feed and shoot the full dose and test again before you leave. You can always feed high carb if needed then.

    I will give him 1.75 and test him in 1 hour
    I feel to unsafe to give him the full dose 2 unit . but if tonight he went up too high I will go back to 2 unit

    He did not earn a reduction, so you want to stay with 2U.

    He tends to nadir at the end of a cycle, so you want to get comfortable with shooting lower preshots!

    Ok dear
    It’s true I need to get comfortable in shooting low numbers … is not always easy … Expecially when I’m not at home to check on him …
