Hi everyone,
My cat Belly has been over 2 weeks OTJ. In the past 3 days her AM numbers have been increasing, although her mid-day numbers are still really good, this seems really odd to me? What should I base my decision to shoot on, the AM numbers or mid-day numbers? Also her PM numbers are higher than usual these past 2 days.
I haven't shot her because her mid-day numbers are good, but also because I'm really intimidated of the tiny doses I would need to administer and I don't have the ability to monitor her all day in case she drops too low.

Can anyone please offer advice, i am still super new to this. Belly had only been on insulin one week before her numbers began to drop dramatically and i stopped shooting. This weird trial period is more stressful than when I was shooting, not knowing what to do is really stressing me out. I also unfortunately don't have much time right now to spend hours researching feline diabetes and monitoring her constantly (I'm a full time grad student and have a job as well).
Belly's also really tired of my constant BG monitoring, and i don't blame her, but it's getting harder to keep testing her constantly.
I would really appreciate some advice and support.
thank you,
Lily
