Fantastic!

Saw your mention of her sore ears. You can buy Neosporin (with or without the pain reliever) and put a dab on the spot where you poked. Also, hold on to the spot a moment after you get the sample, to help with the bruising.

Question...if I get Insulin to the .5 mark on syringe - how much am I giving her?

Well if you just fill the syringe and don't inject the cat you have given her NOTHING :lol: Ok that was just a little humor.

Here is the picture of the syringe filled just a little abouve the .5U mark, If you fill the syringe to this mark you would be giving .5 units or a half-unit of Lantus insulin.

Are you using U-40 syringes or U-100 syringes? If you are using a U-40 insulin with U-100 syringes, you need to do the conversion. The chart can be found here: http://www.felinediabetes.com/insulin-conversions.htm
