Here's the link to your previous post: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=125447&p=1298657#p1298657.
I had that same thought many times and doubted that Jersey would ever get out of the reds and pinks. People tried to help when they told me to be patient, although I'm the least patient person in the world, I think. ohmygod_smile Obie's numbers really will get better, though. I know that doesn't help you feel less frustrated today, but it's true.

I hope so. I'm going to be under a ton of scrutiny if he doesn't show me something in the next few weeks because of ignoring my vets stupid advice.
He almost had to hit low last night, or drop at a super fast rate to be so high.
I am the least patient person on the planet. I'm the kind of guy that looks for spoilers on tv shows and movies I like because I hate waiting and not knowing. :evil:

Come on down Obie! You will get there. It takes a long time in the beginning and seems to never end. I definitely had to learn patience through this whole thing.

I hope so.
According to my vet, I'm checking his blood too much and should only do it once or twice a day or if he is acting funny.
I must be shooting the insulin wrong, or it's expired after 10 weeks(Under refrigeration)
I'm not supposed to worry about shooting him on time and there is a window of 10-13 hours.
Everything else they tell me requires me to spend more cash that I really don't think I need to spend.
Also they think I should switch to prozinc. I have no idea the merits of that. Or if he needs to switch. All I know is that he goes up and down like a freaking trombone.
If I don't kill this cat, he is going to kill me cat(2)_steam cat(2)_steam

My vet said all of the same things. They didn't really want me to check Tarragon's blood at home. "Just bring him in there every week at $100 a pop and they would do a curve. No worries on the timing, just sometime. blah blah blah." I figured out quick that Tarragon has elevated blood sugar at the vet from stress so the curves they were doing wasn't accurate anyway. There is a lot of bouncing in the beginning (and sometimes even after 4 years :lol: ). Hang tight. You are doing great. It is so scary at first and I cried many many times wondering if I was going to kill him. Thanks to this board, I didn't. I often wonder if I would have if I would have followed my vets advice though. ((((HUGS))))
