Question:
Kai's shot time is at 6:30. I need to move his Shot time to 5:30 so that I can make my family's dinners on 12/24 and 12/25 at 6:00pm. It is about a 30-45 minute drive to get to the dinner locations. So I will need to leave right after I give Kai his shot at the new time of 5:30.
I know that giving a shot an hour early can act like an increase in insulin. And I know to adjust the shot time you would give a shot 30 minutes earlier each day until you reach the desired time. But I assume that is standard practice for regulated cats. And we are in the middle of adjusting to an increase because Kai is not regulated and probably has glucose toxicity. If I try to adjust his shot time right now so that he can be adjusting would that make things more complicated? For example, if his levels dipped lower than normal I wouldn't know if it was from the insulin or from the earlier shot time, right?
I need someone's thoughts on this to help me plan things out.
