My Sidney and his adopted sister, Firiona, were fighting for several minutes before we took his BG. Then, we had to do several stabs before we got a sample. His BG was really high for him as he's been needing less and less insulin. I'm so sad to see this as I was really hoping he was heading to remission. Could the extreme activity right before we tested cause this or am I just grasping at straws?
 
It's possible. However, you're dosing isn't following any systematic method and there's virtually no spot checks so it's very hard to know if Sidney is really on the road to remission. Have you looked at the dosing guidelines on the Prozinc board?

Why yes, I have read the dosing on the Prozinc board and have been following the recommendations from other members on there. With feeding 4 times a day, we felt it was more important to test before injections and each time, the reading was too low to inject, so that’s why there isn't consistency. We were trying to wait a week with his readings requiring NS before doing a curve. Obviously, with the high reading this morning, we will be monitoring spot checks again.

Always test before injections yes, but you've got virtually no tests aside from that. I have no idea what his onset or nadir is. You also don't need to do curves if you're getting spot checks every day. I see in your other thread in the Prozinc group that Deb mentioned to not give insulin under a 150 pre-shot, but you skipped a dose on the 23rd when Sidney was 168. The purpose of having 150 as a no-shoot baseline is UNTIL you get enough data to shoot lower, which you're not testing for any of that info. He looks like he's doing well-ish but you're delaying his opportunity for remission by not being consistent. Can you start getting spot checks in every day? Maybe a +2, + 5, +7 one day and a +1, +3, +6 the next? Also be trying to get at least one spot check in before bed every night. :)
