Morning - Sammy seems to be doing fine this morning. I anticipated his AM would be high after last night. He was very active and had an epic battle with his toy mouse for about 5 minutes. It has been months since I have seem him play so hard and do the kitty butt wiggle before pouncing on the mouse. He is in good spirits and I gave him a lower dose of insulin (0.75u). He ate well and was purring and going to sleep when I left for work. I have asked my dad to check in on him today but I know he will not be comfortable testing him. He refers to it as "torture" and "abuse" =/. Maybe over time I can get him to help in the future. Will update the posting with his PMPS later today =)
 
Hi - yes, I leave wet food out for him during the day. There are 2 different types, one fancy feast grilled with gravy, and the other is fancy feast naturals pate. He alternates between the two.
I will stay with the 0.75u dosage and I can typically get more tests in on the weekend. This Saturday, I will be working, but can definitely get more in on Sunday.
 
Hi again. I just tested Sammy @+1.5PM and he is at 59. I gave him some HC wet food and will test again in about an hour. I think I need to call the vet tomorrow to decrease his dose. Either that or feed him more carbs with his meals. I even gave him some HC crunchy snacks about 30 minutes before his insulin. Should I give him 0.5u in the morning? Thanks in advance
