Re: Snickers' story
Natalie,
Thanks for the response. Friday morning she wouldn't eat anything, even people food so I opted not to give her any insulin. She was at 141 (unadjusted Relion #) and I wasn't going to be around to watch her.
Three hours later she was at 208 so not the end of the world. I gave her 1/4 cup of food but no insulin because I was afraid of it overlapping with her next dose and again, I wasn't going to be around again for several hours after her evening meal and dose.
Glad to know about the basal blood sugar requirements. I was too afraid to dose her and my vet recommended erring on the high side.
Liz
