nice looking curve, congrats!

when did you raise the insulin to 8?

i would certainly wait, do another curve in 7 days.. without any changes
and let your vet know these results.

its recommended to do a curve then make changes only to the lowest number.

No treats
chicken raises blood sugar!!

you.ve raised the insulin to 8 without acurve. then did a curve after only 3 or 4 days making this curve Not true.

keep testing he.s dropping. please have some syrup on hand.

test after food before you inject insulin to avoid hypoglycemia!!!!

No he’s a 8 for about 5 days now

regulation is blood sugar under 250 for the better part of the day.
to prevent organ damage blood sugar is recommended under 200.

your at a point now where you need tobe careful and test often especially after food before you inject he should be at least 200.

going up 1/2 unit gets you closer to that 250 and under. test test test
