I hope he comes down for you today. We like to keep 1 thread per day and link the previous day's post to todays to make it easier for people to look at history. Below are your two posts from yesterday.
As patient as he is for the testing (unless it's right before a meal), Chino keeps turning or shaking his head right as I'm approaching the drop of blood with a test strip. I don't always catch myself before shouting a horrified "NOOOOO!" but even that doesn't seem to bother him anymore. I would love to see some more blues, but with my luck, they'll happen while I'm sleeping. Though I could try for a +8 when I wake up for my 0300 meds.
I usually find him in front of his water bowl when I go to get a BG reading, but found him on the couch or under the kitchen table for 3 of the 4 post-shot tests today

Doodles gets in that habit too sometimes. I tell him, don't move or we have to do it again. Great to hear he was on the couch and moving around today! If you're up anyway for a +8, I'd grab it. Hope to see him back in blue but if not an increase will be due soon. Just gotta keep driving forward and getting those numbers down.
If you haven't, for piece of mind it's good to peak at others SS's. Of course, not to copy dosing but to get an idea of what other kitties look like during this dance. All in all Chino is doing pretty good and so are you. I think he's getting close to a break through dose and don't be discouraged. Many kitties require a bit of a higher dose to get there before coming down in dose. It's not that uncommon and remember they didn't get diabetes overnight.
Hi there I don't thin I have ever visited your condo before and just wanted to say hi.
It's early in this dance and hopefully you will get to a breakthrough dose . It might be a good idea to be checking for ketones while he is in these higher numbers if you aren't all ready . Come on Chino and work the juice.
I meant to get a +8 last night but went to bed an hour late and almost didn't remember what I woke up for (meds) when my alarm went off. If I can't go to bed at the right time tonight, I'll decrease my dose to be more alert when it's time to test and take the 2nd dose. I used to feel like my life revolved around my medication schedule - not anymore! Good thing he's cute.
Looking at other peoples' spreadsheets has definitely been helpful. It's good to see that it's not just Chino who started out in scary-high numbers, and good to see that cats who tested as high or higher eventually came down to normal range (or close to it) with the right dose.
Thanks. I do check for ketones when I catch him coming out of the litterbox, but both of my cats use the same litterbox and tend to pee in the same spots. His urine tested negative yesterday.
It's important to take care of yourself. You're getting enough tests at night but once in a while it's good to get that PM +8. Hope you both have a nice relaxing evening.
But he was negative for ketones yesterday. I'm going to test at 3 hour intervals today.
