I'm wondering if/when I should shoot or not.
My doubt is highly caused because of his eating habits, which I'll describe below.
Kevin is newly diagnosed and we've been on LC Wet & Lantus for just 22 days. He used to free feed kibble, and when given old wet food he would finish all the wet food as soon as it was put down.
Now that he is on fully LC Wet, at first he would finish it all immediately. Great for giving shot after. But now as we've been doing this for a little bit he's realized he doesn't have to finish all his food immediately. Not so good for shots. But he will ALWAYS finish the food by the end of the 12 hour cycle. Typically enjoys the most of it 3-4 hours after putting food down.
Kevin came with me home for the holidays. Very scared cat. At home before we left, we were trying to figure the best time to put food out, so that his shot isn't on an empty stomach. But since he's so scared here, his eating is unpredictable (although again, he will almost ALWAYS finish the food by the end of the 12 hour cycle).
His numbers have been great though!? And I haven't been giving him insulin. I'll do a curve once I get home from holidays. But should I be giving him his shots anyway? His activity has been so low, and its been really hard to get tests from him here, he's normally great for testing. But being here, and getting these good numbers I kinda just want to let him be.
