I think it's wonderful!!
You and Mickey are doing such a great job, especially working with the split doses.
Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you, I am starting to get it finally :mrgreen:

Have a great weekend too!!

Those are pretty decent numbers. Might be time to consider 2.25u though - to give him that little push he needs to get below 100. The 132 several days ago was close.

I was hoping that it the poop issue that was causing these numbers to be higher. I want to wait to increase until Monday because I am off on Tuesday and go back in Wednesday night at 10p I will have almost 2 full days home with him for testing. Mickey willing Nah, he has been a good boy testing wise.

I have not figured out the issue yet. I had him locked away for 8 hours with cooked rice and chicken added fortiflora for flavor and left out 3 Instinct medallions mixed with core wet.
Tried again with Bravo complete raw mixed with core, same result. Didn't touch either.
I got the link from transitioning to raw (btw, thank you)
I also ordered Feline's Pride for him. I am thinking it should be here Mon or Tue.

Waiting until Monday is fine - absolutely fit it into your schedule...

Paws crossed that the diet change helps - just remember that needs to "settle" too, both in terms of the dose, but also in terms of resolving the poop issues.

I am glad to hear you are giving the Feline's Pride a try. It is hard transitioning a diabetic because you can't just let them get hungry enough to eat because they HAVE to eat when you are giving insulin. It took me a long time to orginally get Tigger from dry to wet food and then from wet food to raw food later. But what a difference it has made in his health.

Probably stating the obvious here, but have you tried sprinkling parmesan cheese over the raw? Or I will sprinkle some dried chicken treats over the top (Halo) when Tigger is feeling a little finicky, or the flortiflora. Most of the time he eats his raw all gone though. He gets 3 ounces in the morning and 3 ounces at night. But he is usually hungry about 4 to 5 hours later (I assume from the more rapid transit time with raw food). He then gets some cooked chicken breasts as a treat to hold him over until dinner.

I think once you, hopefully, get Mickey on just a Feline Pride raw diet you will see less diarrhea and firmer less frequent poos. Tigger poops only once a day but there is not much - maybe about two inches of semi-firm poop. I understand they utilize more of the raw food so there is less poop produced (oh, and an added plus is there is no odor).

Then again, if Mickey is stressed from the other kitties a change in diet may not help at all. Or maybe it will help because he will feel better overall. I hope so. Interesting about the AC. I have heard so many people say how helpful Dawn has been for them.
