..had our appt. went fast. unremarkable. his pressure has come down to 180 (frm 210..) they suggest a dose of BP meds at night too.. referred it to his primary to see what she thinks; cuz know for people that meds can take 2-4 weeks to show what they can do.. not sure if same for kitties. and it (1x/day) has brought it down..
his numbers have been lovely..
i wonder if his pressure has been a contributor. pressure can affect the effectiveness of insulin (causes resistance..) in addition to the health of the veins.. etc.. i wonder. if thats why we’ve had to go up so much…. Sigh. gonna ask his doctor to see if she might have something to offer on it. 
he did so good. so brave. (eye doc.. theyre too far tho.. but idk where else to go. 
)
cautionary to anyone else.. check yur kitties pressure. esp if older.. and noticing changes. you never know.
: so hes pretty high frm the stress of today.. i think. think ok to give him his full dose?? (cause number is influenced by this..)

phew... dosing now. think its ok.. (?)
nice to hear cuz we did that haha.. (honestly it being elevated in this case he just gets his dose far as I know/based off his numbers rn etc.. right? ugh. 
)
im a little nervous to increase the BP meds cuz what if that helps the insulin work like it usually did (because his pressures better/more normal).. and now hes a lot higher, the Lantus?..
