Re: BUDDY
You seem to be getting the hang of it, way to go! But it is frustrating to get those high (600) numbers and scary too. I use a fast acting insulin with Bo if his bg goes over 400 and I know the insulin is at least 3 hours from peaking. I would not recommend you use any of that unless/until you have a good handle on the shape of his curve. You don't want to give extra insulin right before a drop in bg is coming. I agree with Patty that you should do some night testing - the only way you will know for sure about how the bg/insulin is working for Buddy and it can vary from the daytime numbers a bit. What about eliminating the hamburger a couple of days and see what happens?
