Any reason you are feeding Purina DM wet? Yes it's low in carbs but there is nothing special about it and it's experience . The Fancy Feast Pates are fine you are feeding
Purina DM wet food pate version is 6% carbs,

If you have any more question feel free to ask away

Regarding the DM wet food, it's what the vet gave me that gave me at the moment of her diagnosis, and I had no background whatsoever to do anything differently.
The funny thing is Squishy is actually eating it, which is unusual. I'm just gonna use it up and then move to fancy feast pate.
 
The Vet told me 2 units, twice a day. They told me to bring Squishy in to the office for testing and discouraged me from doing it myself at home.
I just started testing today (just now!), entered the data into the spreadsheet.
The ReLion lancet holder didn't seem to be effective, so I just did it by hand. Three unsuccessful tries, then one TOO successful try. Yikes!

Most of us don't use the lancing device , we do it free hand like you did
Hi Renee Don't listen to your vet, home testing is the only way to keep Squishy safe
Is the vet going to be around if your cat went hypo . She's your cat and you need to be sure she's safe and to see how the insulin is working and how low she's dropping
I'm really confused about your spreadsheet?
In the cell for the date you have 7-16 Sunday but in the unit cell you have 10:30 AM?
When did you test her AMPS ? What was it?
And confused about the rest, you don't have to put times in on the spreadsheet



AMPS means the first test in the morning , withhold feeding 2 hours prior to testing so it's not food influenced You would put that number in the AMPS cell that means AM pre shot
If you test him 2 hours later after giving insulin that BG number goes in the +2 cell
and so on

Same thing with PMPS first test 12 hours later, withold feeding 2 hours before that test then test and put that BG # in the PMPS cell if you test 3 hours after giving insulin that goes in the +3 cell and so on

The U column means how many units of insulin you are giving


Take a look at Tyler's spreadsheet he's in remission now so I don't have to test as often. But go to my spreadsheet and up top tap in where it says 2020 that's what your spreadsheet and testing should look like
@SultanaRana

Read this about prozinc I'm not a prozinc but I will tag one for you
It also says suggests 1 unit twice a day to start with
Let's see what Melissa says
https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-the-prozinc-basics-please-start-here.164995/

Here are the dosing methods for prozinc please read them

It's just that your spreadsheet is confusing
What did you decide to be your testing times? Meaning AM and PM they have to be the same times

Until you can explain the spreadsheet to me and fix it so I can then tag Melissa
@FrostD

Melissa you can just go to post #6 said she just tested now that post was at 10:03 PM then look at her SS?
I have no idea what her spreadsheet means , I don't think you will either
Only thing I know vet started her cat on 2 units

Always aim for the sweet spot warm the ears up first, you can put rice in a sock and put it in the microwave, test it on the inside of your wrist to be sure it's not to hot, like you would test a babies bottle. You can fill a pill bottle with warm water and roll it on the ears also.Just keep rubbing the ears with your fingers to warm them up

6. As the ears get used to bleeding and grow more capilares, it gets easier to get the amount of blood you need on the first try. If he won’t stand still, you can get the blood onto a clean finger nail and test from there.
When you do get some blood you can try milking the ear.
Get you finger and gently push up toward the blood , more will appear
You will put the cotton round behind his ear in case you poke your finger, after you are done testing you will fold the cotton round over his ear to stop the bleeding , press gently for about 20 seconds until it stops
Get 26 or 28 gauge lancets
Take a look at the lancets ,you will see one side points up, that's the side you want to poke with
A lot of us use the lancets to test freehand
I find it better to see where I'm aiming
You can also put a thin layer of vaseline on the ear ,to help the blood bead up
A video one of our members posted
VIDEO: How to test your cat's blood sugar



Make sure you have a hypo kit in case she drops to low and you need to bring those numbers up to a safe number

Med and High Carb food and some honey
