Unless your kitty is very carb sensitive you can feed the other types of Friskies that are closer to 8% carbs.

And while he's in higher BG's, his body can't properly absorb the nutrients from the food. His appetite should calm down some as he gets in better numbers :). It is recommended not to feed fishy foods more than twice a week, so the meaty pate's should still be OK :). Just don't get Turkey and Giblets one, they increased the sodium supposedly.

i bought a poultry lovers pack it has poultry platter ,mixed grill, and turkey and giblets . 4,5,5 in carbs. Not as much protein as Fancy Feast . I am also feeding my other 2 non diabetic kitty only wet food now too so the bigger cans are more affordable , no more of Mr. Rocky sneaking dry food. Also last night i woke up and he was snuggles up next to me.he hasn't came and slept in bed with us for several months now. He sleeps right next to your face haha. I was surprised and happy to have him in bed with us ! His #'s still don't seem controlled yet though but i can tell he's feeling better .I think i will start 1U tomorrow morning . He's been at.75 all week doesn't seem to show big improvement. So i want to see if 1 u works better
 
If he needs to gain weight, you have to feed him extra calories. My cat needed to gain and he's now maintaining 12 pounds on one 5.5oz can of 9Lives and half an ounce of fancy feast per cycle. So he gets 2 full 5.5oz cans and an ounce of fancy feast in a day.
He still sneaks my civvies's food but he eats friskies pate so it's not high carb.
 
I might try to get another test in later tonight....set an alarm or grab one if you get up to go to the bathroom

That's a pretty big drop from PMPS to +2 and may indicate he may drop quite a bit more tonight

Yeah i have some Fancy Feast still I am planning on giving him those as his "snack" through out the day and then feed him the Friskies for his meals. He does need to gain weight he was 7.5 lbs a month ago .Hes going to the vet tomorrow for a check up.They want to see how he's looking feeling etc. So we will see if he's gained any weight.
 
A +4 should let you know if he's slowed down ......anytime you get a +2 that's lower than the PS, that can act like an "early warning" that they're planning something silly...like keeping you up all night worrying and testing!!

Looks like you haven't gotten very many mid-cycle tests lately, so I would for sure recommend trying to get another test tonight. What time did you shoot? Are you up to +4 yet? I am wondering if Rocky has been sneaking down into blue numbers when you weren't looking.

It's great that he seems to be feeling better. That is an indication that the insulin is working and his numbers are coming down. Seeing a return of old behaviors sure makes all this trouble worth it, doesn't it?

How long since the shot? Was that a +3 or +4 or ?

If you'll be up or can get up, another test wouldn't hurt - no such thing as too much data!

He's been at this dose for a while without much progress that I can see. Are you doing SLGS? A curve would definitely be a good idea. I'd like to recommend an increase, but with so little data, it's hard to do so. Will your schedule allow more testing any time soon?
