Those readings are all within the 20% allowed variance for meters. As far as food goes, you can feed generously if Buddy needs to gain weight. The carb level is more important as an influence on BG and more so in some cats than others. Try not to worry about individual numbers and focus on patterns over time instead.
. Next colour to cut, Pink! I think you're on a good track! I keep trying to tell Maury I'm tired of pink and reds 
. Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law, may he rest in peace 
One thing that might give you a bit of hope is that in general kitties don't suffer the same number of complications as diabetic dogs and humans do.
Glad to hear that. Kris, are you a veterinarian.
No, I'm not Teresa. My vet told me this.
Too soon to tell, Teresa. Here's my thinking: he hasn't gone below blue on 3.2 u and so far on 3.4 u. That suggests you're not yet at a high enough dose. However, the fact that he has dropped from pink or yellow to blue tells me that he's responding to the insulin when he isn't in a bounce cycle. You can't judge a dose from a bounce cycle. It has to be judged from a non-bounce cycle. I suggest you keep at 3.4 u today and plan to try 3.6 u tomorrow AM if you can monitor. He's built up some insulin resistance and you need to break through that. Careful dose increases will get you there.
I really appreciate all of your knowledge, I would be at a loss without you. I will raise tomorrow to 3.6u. Buddy cries a lot wanting more food, I keep thinking maybe he is eating too much, but what do you do when they follow you around wanting more food. I took 1 of my cats in today to see their old vet, while there I ran into a lady with a diabetic cat. This ladies cat was on 6u of ProZinc and she had never ran a BG test on him. I told her about FDMB.
Buddy is eating FF Chunky Chicken. I give him 2 cans for the morning shot and 2 cans for the evening shot. If he does not eat it all at one sitting, I save what is left for later when he is hungry. He has no treats or snacks, just what is left from each dose. Sometimes he would like to have more. I do no how much anyone else is feeding their kitty. Buddy did weigh 12 lbs., but I am not for sure of his weight now. He does not need to gain weight.
If he doesn't finish a meal or lunch right away, I leave it there for him to come back later. Just try to take it up 2 hours prior to PS test.
I bought some YA dry for Buddy to use as a snack or treat. His BG did not seem to come down much, so I have not been giving him YA. FF is 3oz X4=12oz a day and he would like more. Buddy's food is stopped 2 hours prior to testing. When I was giving the YA, I don't think he wanted as much of the canned food as now. I hope it is not the food, maybe we can get him to where he needs to be without him going hungry.Maury does need to gain a little weight but here are his meals:
Breakfast 1/2 can Friskies (2.25oz) Fill 1/4 cup YA dry
Lunch +4 : 1/3 can (1.83oz)
Dinner 1/2 can Friskies (2.25oz). Fill 1/4 cup YA dry
Lunch +3: 1/3 can (1.83oz)
The lunches helped him from being extra hungry by meal time. He doesn't always finish his dry because he wants to wait for his wet food
Buddy ate more than I would like but I did get a reading at AMPS+5. The reason I wanted at AMPS+6, is because he started a new dose today and tomorrow I will be at church. I am paranoid about HYPO.
Did not you come home not to long ago and your kitty was diving.
I was beginning to think maybe his FF Chunky was a higher carb food. Guess I could give some Purina OM or YA.
I thought he did and several other kitty's took a big dive that day. What do you feed your fur baby.
I gave Buddy extra food this morning because I was leaving for several hours. I believe that has kept his numbers high today. I like pink, but not on Buddy's SS.I like that you're getting more yellow pre shot numbers now.
They're not that high, Teresa and your SS has more yellow now. That's a good sign.
Might see some more blues soon 
I did not see your post last night. It is now 11:15 a.m. and accidentally saw your post. I was gone most of the day yesterday or I would have changed his dose yesterday. He is starting to get into fairly high u of Prozinc, which makes me wonder should he be on a different insulin. Buddy seems to be doing alright, he is eating FF chunky and sleeping a lot.
Did not see your post last night. I did change his dose to 3.8u this morning. It is true great minds think alike.I was thinking same thing
It is true, great minds think alike.
Switching to another insulin doesn't necessarily mean the dose will go down. It can mean less bouncing in some cats or longer duration, etc, I think Buddy's ProZinc dose has to be slowly increased to see what it can do.
), I think his numbers are pretty gentle curves
I hope to find a close to normal u of Prozinc soon, his little ears on the inside are so rosy colored where I have been poking him. If I could find the correct dose I would not need to poke his ears as much. Guess we are all doing the same thing, trying to help our kittys.Just my two cents. He is responsive to the slow increases and even though it's tempting to rush progress (at least for me at times
I should be around most of the day. Hoping this will help him, but he seems to be fine otherwise.Will you be around to monitor as usual? Sounds good otherwise
Him feeling fine is the important part, Teresa.
I opened this bottle of prozinc on 3/30/17. I had stopped a while back giving YA to him, because his numbers were high. I am going to go back and look at his SS.
The insulin should be good then. Just keep up the slow careful increases. He is responding but needs to come down more.
I went back and looked at Buddy's SS, around the time his numbers started to climb he has started eating FF chunky & FortiFlora. Maybe he is eating more because when I look back on the notes he had not been eating very well and had been throwing up. The only thing I could figure out to do for his SS on 3/30/17 was italicize and bold.
I see that. One thing to try is putting the cursor on that bolded date, click on it then go to the tool bar at the top left and click on "Insert". A menu will drop down. Select "Row Above". That will create a blank row above the bolded date and you can type in something about starting a new vial.
