I'm not sure how you would measure 0.8 units with a U100 insulin syringe. It would be better to start with 0.5 units and increase slowly as needed. Make sure you get U100 insulin syringes 3/10cc with half unit markings. Gauge and needle length is mostly preference. Many people use 5/16 inch needles that are 30 or 31 gauge. Cats with long fur may need 1/2 inch needles but you have to be extra cautious to not poke the needle through the tented skin and into a finger.

A fructosamine just gives the average blood glucose level over the past few weeks. In unregulated diabetic cats, the fructosamine is always going to be on the high side.

Good to know, thanks. 0.5 units sounds best.
