Please don't feel bad, Jenny. We've seen cats here go into the Oort Cloud! :woot:

Comet's BG levels will come down again. You're keeping him safe. That's everything. The rest will come with learning, time, and a lot of trial and error (goes with the territory). Cats lead this dance - and they keep the steps very close to their chests. :rolleyes:

:bighug:

Great, I have be a good dancer? We're in trouble. *smile*

Seriously, thanks so much. I have got to write this all the smart things you're all saying out on poster board and hang it up on the walls so when I start losing it I can just look at them and refocus.

That's exactly what I was hoping you might catch. 17 hours out from the previous dose it is highly unlikely that the Lantus had anything to do with that drop - from a medium carb food as well.

When the Libre works, it works really well! :cool:

I suggest taking a reading at AM+11.5 and posting on the Lantus board for dosing advice before tonight's cycle. Copy/paste the URL for this thread into the first post on the Lantus thread.

I think Comet looks to still need some insulin support because he has been hovering in diabetic numbers without it but right now the 1/4 unit dose looks too high.

Things to consider going forwards:

* It can sometimes be trickier when treating kitties who need to regain some weight because they may exhibit quite strong responses to even tiny doses of insulin.

* If insulin is still needed and even a microdose of Lantus proves tricky to give safely, bumping the carb load of the food closer to the 10% mark may help to support more consistent dosing.

Be sure to let the people advising you know what your schedule is like and what your availability is to closely monitor Comet should he have a low run. Safety is paramount. Also, be sure to tell them that Comet has been intermittently vomiting and can be slow to eat sometimes.

I have to keep reminding myself that I did the safe thing. Better to be too high than too low. Thank you, Ale. I am sorry that your little girl went higher than you'd wanted; you take such good care of her and she knows it.
