    Hello,

    I'm at a loss. Squeaks was doing SO WELL (greens and blues) but then I tried a new food (just one can mind you that was 2 carbs higher than what he has been getting) and now he's been almost exclusively yellow readings ever since. I'm trying to find some different food options and Squeaks is getting so sick of Fancy Feast. Do you think I need to up his dose to .5 to help with these food changes? None of these new food options are over 5 carbs. Not sure how to do this! (You can see in my remarks column the food and carb content to give context) TYIA! :cat:

    I don't think it's food-related, the carb amount is such a small difference and Squeaks seemed like he was trending upwards a tad to begin with. It may just be time for an increase in general.

    That's what I'm thinking but Deb can chime in if she thinks otherwise. Here's what Dr. Pierson mentioned about her carb chart:

    It might not be in the stickies, I referenced it from near the bottom of her 67-page chart haha!

    The numbers aren't bad. Sure, give 0.5. Insulin isn't a set it and forget it kind of thing. Insulin needs fluctuate.
