Happy Boxing Day, all!

Not seeing any movement on the 1.25u, so far. I know this morning was dose 6, but still! So frustrating. I feel like I'm working against the clock, as we leave tomorrow afternoon for 2 weeks. We have a woman coming twice/day who runs a sitting service (Friends have used her for their two high-need cats - meds & sub-q fluids, so I trust her. She has a lot of diabetic cat clients, but sadly we're the only ones who test (!!!)). She'll do the pre-shot tests, and the shots (and all the other general maintenance), but I'm really stressed about it quite honestly.
I'm thinking of either keeping the 1.25 if he stays high over the next 24 hours, or telling her to do 1u. She wants a 'don't shoot/reduced unit' number, which I"m thinking would be 90, based on his history. So, if I stay with the 1.25u, have her do 1u if he's below 90? He doesn't tend to eat as well when we're gone, but we haven't made this trip since the diagnosis, nor since we got the civvie. So maybe he won't be as stressed? She will email me an update twice/day with his number, how much food was left, demeanor, etc.
Ideally, this 6th dose of 1.25 will give us some movement, and he'll earn a reduction to 1 tonight, and I can just chill cause I'd be ecstatic just to see blues for PS over the next two weeks
He's acting friendly, but tired. Urine output is increased, of course, and he's eating (too) well.
Thanks for any advice!
