    I've been working with my vet, who depends on fructosamine testing and whole unit changes in doses (Vetsulin, U40). We started with 2 units because his numbers were so high and based on my spotty early home testing and urine glucose tests ramped up to 4 units. After a fructosamine test we upped to 5 units last week and things are looking so much better (see spreadsheet). We are also getting a better diet, but I'm not sure how close I should be tracking his numbers now and how often I should be adjusting his dosages. I am ok with just going slow and depending on the vet double checking me. I do still worry about him as Bubba still has a lot of urination. I think he might have some nerve damage to his back feet or legs as he is often stepping in the litter blobs. I just want to make sure he's got the best health I can get for him.

    Here is his spreadsheet:
