Zoe is on her third week of her diagnoses and she was started at two units twice a day. I’ve been home testing and her numbers have been all over the place. Sometimes it’s too low for me to give it. Sometimes I’ve done one unit. I was advised on here that it should really have consistency so I’m thinking about moving her down to one unit twice a day but of course still testing her. My question is it was suggested that I even start lower. I’m injecting her with a syringe I don’t see on the syringe how I could possibly go lower than one unit and be able to accurately measure it.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding. At this point I’m so overwhelmed and feel so lost that I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m so incredibly stressed out I feel like I’m about to lose it. I will openly except any information. I know I need to upload her numbers onto the spreadsheet I just don’t have access to a computer at this time
 
Awww...Katrina! I'm sorry to hear you're overwhelmed!

There are lots of people and help here that we're going to share with you.

First thing, I'd like for you to change your title to something like this:

9/3 Kchid AMPS (whatever that number was before her first shot this morning). After that write: Newbie - needs help getting started.

You can edit your title by selecting that from the pulldown menu on the right hand side - just under the title. That'll get some eyes on your condo today.

You'll want to add your SpreadSheet so that we can see what Kchids numbers are looking like - if you need help for that, please ask - there are experts on here who can help you get it set up and working so we can all click on the link from your signature - you'll have to add the url for it there..

Royal Canin? Is that a wet food? It's possible - since most RC is high in carbs that isn't the best choice for Kchid - we prefer Fancy Feast pate's and some other wet foods - the pate's are low in carbs.

Have you had a chance to read any of the stickies at the top of this forum - next to the yellow tabs? The one about "The Basics - http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/the-basics-new-to-the-group-start-here.18139/ is a great place to start.

Lots of information in those stickies! Please continue to post and ask questions in this thread - just one thread aka condo allowed per day.

Let's get you some answers!
 
Katerina -

It will be of huge help if you can set up a spreadsheet for Zoe. I know we're throwing a lot at you. The best way that we can help you with dosing is if we see the numbers your getting when you test. Frankly, most of us are very hesitant to give any advice about dosing without a spreadsheet to look at. Here's the link to the spreadsheet info.
