Of course last night I passed out at 9pm before getting his before bed shot, and *of course* this morning he has his lowest number thus far. Figures! ohmygod_smile

At 133, I am assuming I should NOT feed and test at +1? If he goes up at +1, can I feed him? He is already running around the house screaming at the top of his lungs for food. (along with the other 6...oy!)

TY for your guidance...

Morning! I'm going to pm a few people who can help you with this decision. be right back.
 
What would you think about getting a +2 test routinely -- especially during the PM cycle? I'm thinking you probably won't be crashing by your +2. If the +2 is considerably lower than your pre-shot, you'll then know you need to get some additional tests. Will that work better than waiting until +4?

Yes, I can do that. I haven't been because I thought that since the insulin doesn't kick in until 3-4 hours, that getting a test at +2 would be useless. I see that I apparently don't know what I'm talking about though! lol
 
Onset for Lantus is somewhere around +2 but every cat is different (ECID). (My cat's onset is earlier on many occasions.) You may have seen reference to the onset for Levemir -- that insulin has a later onset and later nadir for most kitties.
