Hi , I am not familiar with Novolin N
It would be helpful if you could set up your signature it's at the end of everyone's post in gray. It's all the info about of cats. So we won't have to ask you the same questions over and over again I will give you the link
 
I'm sorry new to this. I really don't know

I tried not sure if done right.
 
Most of us use Lantus, I see you live in the US . Lantus is expensive in the US so we buy it from Marks Marine in Canada
We buy the 5 pack of pens they will probably last you for over a year
With Lantus you use U-100 syringes with half unit markings
so you can increase or decrease by 0.25 units

With the pen you can only adjust by whole units, that's why we use syringes to insert in the little gray rubber stopper and draw out the insulin from there
The expiration dates will probably be 2022 or 2023 just keep them in the middle shelf in the fridge. You can call them to contact your vet to get in touch with your vet to send over a script.
After that you will not need another script to reorder

Lantus is what Im hoping to get a script for. Do you know if there is any special way it would need to read?
 
For a cat on Novolin, Cuddles spreadsheet looks pretty good. Since it's a short acting insulin, I'd expect lower numbers earlier in the cycle and higher preshots as the insulin has worn off by then. Lantus, Prozinc, or Levemir are all better options as all are longer lasting insulins and might help keep him flatter.

If you are following SLGS, you should have lowered the dose to 0.75 units when you saw that 62.
