PM Cycle:
PMPS = 427
+2 = 375
+3.25 = 380

AMPS = 354

I woke up again at +7.25 last night and checked the automatic feeder. Both were empty; however, Daisy was sleeping in bed with me. So I think Gizmo ate both cat's food last night. At least it doesn't seem to have affected his morning number this morning. Come on Gizmo ... we need a good day!

Yeah, it is frustrating. I thought my insulin was bad when this happened, but of course it wasn't. Just make sure you do keep it in the fridge.

I actually thought the insulin might be bad yesterday! It has been 1 1/2 months since opened. I keep in the back of the fridge so it doesn't get bumped or experience the temperature changes with the door being open. It still looks clear. So I told myself that wasn't the problem.

Wonder if you should do a .25 or a .5 increase tomorrow at PMPS? We should ask Wendy tomorrow but I think she may be away.

I wondered that as well. We shall see what happens today. Tonight is dose increase unless really good numbers today. I even thought about increase to 5 units per the vet's advice. I was very frustrated with yesterday's numbers. I also think Wendy is away.
 
4 to 5 is a pretty high jump, 20%. I think 0.5u increase maximum. I do see I did increase 0.5u from 4u way back in Dec, but that was before we ever saw a yellow. I also started increasing every 5 cycles instead of 6 until I started seeing some better colors.

I probably won't increase that much. Just was frustrated with very high numbers yesterday.

+3 = 361
 
After we hit 3u, my 1st vet gave up and sent me to an internal medicine vet. I was at 4u when we saw him and he suggested I jump from 4u - 6u. He kinda knew Bronx had an underlying condition and the bloodwork he took did prove that. But I didn't follow his crazy instructions and just increased .5u every 5-6 cycles.

Wow...hopefully we won't get that far, but from all these pinks I'm not sure.
 
And I keep forgetting you are using an AT2 meter, those low 300s would be yellow on a human meter. Probably about a 50 point difference in the 300s.
 
+6 = 370

Looking like 0.5 increase tonight. I'm starting to wonder about constipation. I don't think there is ever much poop in the litter box. From what I'm reading, cats should go once a day? I will have to pay closer attention, but usually I think there is only 1 pile or none each day. I just don't know which cat is constipated. And I'm afraid to treat the wrong cat ... that could lead to very bad results!
