Please, do not change the dose of insulin until you can discuss it with your vet. Spot check of glucose level is not always reliable, and it is always necessary to get at least a few low/high reading before we change the insulin dose. Glucose curve, which is reading of blood glucose every few hours over 12hrs, would be ideal in Whisper case before the insulin dose is changed. Please, get in touch with your vet and liaise with him on this.
