Hi Colin,
It looks like Midas needs more insulin. If you are feeding a low carb wet diet and can get at least 4 tests a day (2 pre-shots and 2 mid-cycle), would you be okay to try a more aggressive protocol like TR? That would mean faster increases and you can get Midas into better numbers faster.
Even for SLGS, you are holding doses too long. You want to evaluate the dose every week and increase if needed. When you hold doses too long and the cat stays in higher numbers, there is a chance of glucose toxicity setting in. Glucose Toxicity sounds a lot worse than it is. It's basically a temporary form of insulin resistance. The cat's body gets used to higher numbers and treats them as normal. It then requires much more insulin to break through to lower numbers.
Could you please add what you are feeding and AlpaTrak2 to your signature? Thanks!

You could follow TR till you get him to better numbers and then switch to SLGS once you start seeing lower numbers if you think you cannot follow TR.
What aspect of TR do you find challenging?
With nadirs largely over 300, I would suggest you go up to 3.5U. If you follow TR, you would revaluate the dose again in 3 days after the increase.
