Thanks Allie… can you imagine what might have happened if we were still on the 2iu dose and not testing pre shot- which was advice from the vet?
I do honestly think that the advice and info that I’ve gathered from this amazing site may just have saved her life.

Oh, and also ... I really am boggled that your vet advised such a high dose for such a small cat. A lot of vets don't have a ton of experience with diabetes (I think of it like this: vets are basically GPs, so they typically have broader, shallower knowledge when it comes to ailments a human might see a specialist for), but even so.

(Not advising daily testing is a bit more common, unfortunately. In fact, though it gives me chills to think of now, when Gen had his original diagnosis back in 2021 I was always shooting "blind," because he's a disaster with home blood tests and I couldn't get a CGM. His case was a lot simpler then than it is now, but good god, we were lucky.)

I'm really glad you're here! Some vets are collaborative and open to learning more about diabetic care; I don't know if yours might be one of those. But we all do our best to help each other fill in the gaps in care.

Is she eating less than is usual for her?

She seems to be dropping more at night, though it's a bit early to really see patterns. What's her meal schedule like?

(Alas, I have to go to bed, but will check back tomorrow. I hope things go smoothly for her today/tonight!)

Thanks for the reply Allie, she’s eating less than she was pre diagnosis (obviously I guess) but she is eating well. I have to make sure I’m making her eat little bits constantly I guess?

Hi - we’ve just tested at 3.5 or 63 at +10
We’re going to test at +11 (and I’ll edit this post to reflect results)
Based on the PM test prior to shot yesterday (3.9/70) - then we fed her (but I’ve read NOT to feed?) we waited half n hr- tested again and she was 5.1/92….. would you think we would be ok to shoot at +12?
Obviously I will keep you posted…

Edit- +11 4.7/85 +12 5.8/104

Thanks 🦋
