Before I start injections I have a few more things to ask regarding diabetes, injections and Spead Sheet (warning: stupid questions ahead …I always try to use the search tool and reading through posts first but having difficulty navigating and understanding how to use the FDMB, hopefully a matter of time so, please, bare with me).
1- What are the numbers that determine if a cat needs insulin or not? For instance, what number is too low to not give or
when is too high to give an injection?
2- Will beginning insulin shots bring the glucose down to cause Hypoglycemia or somehow fluctuate the GB numbers?
3- What’s exactly a cycle and how long does it last?
4- How often do I GB test my cat when I first start and how long does a curve lasts?
5- WHERE is best place to inject insulin? I read in one of the files that on the scruff is not the best place cause the
Insulin won’t be effective too fast…is that right?
6- Can someone confirm if I set up my Signature correctly and can see my Micio’s SS? I tried to link it but not sure I
did it right

TNX for all the help you can give me.
 
I’m glad you will be starting insulin. She needs it. The no shot number depends on which method you follow. The two we use are TR and SLGS.

I am going to link some stickies for you to read. You will see a typical cycle and an active one. After you read ask questions about what hasn’t been answered. All the information is at the top of the LLB forum.

Your signature is perfect. So is the spreadsheet link.

I have been filling with NS as I haven’t start insulin yet and to get use to the SS (hopefully picking up today and start tomorrow morning). What is the LLB forum? Tnx
