Hello,
I think I have discovered why Carbonel was a whopping great 481 last night and why she has been so poorly of late. I think she has either been eating dog food or dog faeces! Yesterday when she went out she had high blood sugar, but her mood was good. She was out for two hours and came back very poorly and her blood sugar was through the roof.
I fed her and gave her slightly more Insulin and locked her in. I won't go into detail but it was clear from the copious faeces she produced that she was not just eating raw food. The reason why I think she might be eating dog faeces is that she has become interested in eating her own. Oh dear!
Her mid-cycle numbers were so much better today that she will be staying in again tonight and hopefully if her blood sugar level comes down into the normal range she won't be so keen on eating pooh.
Does anybody else have a desperatey hungry cat that eats pooh?

I can't say I've ever heard of anyone who's cat was interested in feces. Dogs, on the other hand, will raid the litter box. Are you making sure that Carbonel is getting all of the necessary supplements in the raw that you're feeding? If you're not using a pre-mix, you might want to check on Dr. Lisa's website for the recipe she uses.
 
One day I caught Buster munching away on something out in the yard. Turns out he had discovered an undigested kibble in some dog poo - GROSS! That was his only offense, fortunately. I agree with Sienne - maybe he's not getting something in the raw diet.

Hello again,
Carbonel is getting 160g Natural Instinct a day- minced rabbit with heart, liver and bone (99%) it has some additives such as salmon oil and is a complete, balanced cat food.
I have kept her in since the faeces incident and her blood sugar had improved as it was 282 this morning. Unfortunately it had gone up to 373 when dh tested 3 hrs later. It was 373 when I tested her when I came in. It seems to be the case that Carbonel generally does not have a normal curve on the Glargine. If I look back at her bloods when I first reduced her Insulin to .75 again (03/11/13), after unsuccessfully increasing her Insulin dose, she was getting reasonable no.s. She was being fed 160g of Hills a day at this time. In fact her numbers were so low, I had to keep on waiting an hour after I fed her before giving her her Insulin. Five days later, after possibly some bouncing, she seemed to go up and stay up. Is this the normal pattern for too little Insulin, as it appears as if she has come down a bit now and is now going up again? Perhaps I am just too impatient and she will come down again eventually. I just don't want to increase the Insulin again and find she is on high numbers all the time, as before. I am sorry to be such a nuisance but I can't tell you how stressful I find all this, especially as she is so thin. She only weighs 2.7kg and should weigh 3.8kg, as she is a reasonable sized cat.

Kind regards and thank you so much for your time,
