Previously

Woke up early and Spitzer was hungry, so I tested him an hour early @ 7:00 am, fed him, then gave him his ProZinc dose early too, to start his day.

Since I know Lantus works best on 12 dosing, or as close as I can keep it, I waited until 8 to give him the Lantus. I made the error of going to him and shooting him where he was resting ... and had a partial fur shot again.

I re-tested him at +2 from the ProZinc dose and he was elevated. Since I had missed part of the Lantus dose, I opted to give him a tiny 0.25 Unit bolus of R insulin which I know will knock off around 100 points.

Maybe backing off the Lantus helped or the R helped or both.

If it was the R effect, he'll probably be pretty high tonight, as it only lasts around 4 hours.
If it was the Lantus partially fur shot, I suspect he'd be in the 300s.
If it was both, who knows?

OK - he was lower at +6 and PMPS wound up higher than AMPS

1) that might've been the effect of the R.
2) that might've been the effect of a partial or complete fur shot on the Lantus

I will test that by omitting the Lantus tonight and slightly upping the ProZinc to 2 units.
The Lantus shed will drain out more, so if that is helpful, glucose levels may go down for AMPS.
ProZinc was giving Spitzer crazy swings, but allegedly, the cat is supposed to swing less as time goes by. He's been on it since October, so we'll find out, probably tomorrow because the sleep disorder usually won't let me wake up in the middle of the night.
