Her numbers seem to be getting better, though!
Have you tried any of the suggestions we gave earlier to either help control her tummy acid and/or figure out if she has a food sensitivity? A lot of kitties have or develop a chicken allergy, so it's possible that what she's eating is making her barf.

I've tried switching up the food varieties. She is off seafood altogether. We are trying turkey this week. I can't afford hypoallergenic food.....
Calley won't take pills so I can't do Pepcid.
I'm ready to just go back to dry food and let her be diabetic....she never vomited when on dry food. The vomiting didn't start vomiting until the can food started.

I can tell you exactly what will happen if you do that , she will starve to death while eating ravenously, if she doesn't go into DKA first.
If the vomiting started with the canned then I'm betting its a food allergy. It may not be the main ingredient. Autumn and Angel will both puke on egg in any form. So I have to read labels and make sure there is no eggs, egg solids or dry eggs anywhere on the ingredients list.
Its like having a child with food allergies its a process of elimination. As well as being vigilant on what else is in a food other than the flavor stated on the label. It might take trying different brands. Friskies have rice which neither Fancy Feast nor 9-lives has. So could be a grain allergy.

Calley is starving to death while eating voracious right now on the wet food. And her bg levels are as high as they ever were; 416 today. None of the food is being absorbed and she is wasting away....lost another two pounds.
Her dry food was Purina Indoor variety. That is all she ate. It is what my second cat eats.
Calley used to have diarrhea terribly(from the onset of diabetes, not before)....but since the wet food....she no longer has diarrhea...seems she has traded the diarrhea for vomiting.

What do you want to do with Calley? She is afterall your cat. We've given you suggestions on things to try and tests that might point to the answers to problems she's having. But none of us are vets and we are miles and miles away.
So its your call. Either we can continue to try to help treat, or help rehome, or you can put her down. But it does none of any good to make suggestions if they aren't or can't be acted on.

I've been thinking the same thing as Mel. Kristin, you mention pretty regularly that you think it might be time to end her suffering, which is a pretty uncommon statement from people around here unless their gut is really telling them that there isn't anything that they are able to do for their cats except extend their misery.
You're the one who is seeing Calley every day and who knows what your realistic limitations are for her care, whether they're due to financial, emotional, situational or medical reasons (which are all totally valid). From your responses to most suggestions, it sounds like several of these categories are fairly significant for you.
What does your gut say at this point? To you believe the efforts you plan to take could result in her feeling significantly better? Or do you believe that you're prolonging her discomfort? If you feel like your personal limitations for care are a significant factor, than re-homing could be a good option for all of you (including your kids).
