Yeah, but sometimes I think part of his problem is simply all the time changes and dose changes I've done. Tomorrow he has to get split doses because I work late then and Friday. And Saturday is an early day, so I have to get his shot back by at least an hour and a half.

Last week I tried doing a longer time period of later shots, from wednesday through friday. That seemed to work OK, not really any better or worse than only 2 later days. I am simply getting burned out working every Friday & Saturday night and needed a change.

His +6 was 243.

Darn that +6, now why was that after such a nice preshot? Sometimes Gandalf is so hard to figure out (for me anyway). I know with having to do the splits that complicates things, but why didn't he just hang today instead of going up? Maybe stress from going to the acupuncture dr? But you would think he would have settled down by now from that.
 
His +9 was 280.

He is a high stress cat, not lashing out kind of cat, but very rumbly and growly. So his anger is pent up and I believe it affects his BGs even more than a normal, at ease cat or even one which lashes out and whose anger is shorter. Gandalf has remained angry for hours after a severe upset - back when Tigget used to attack him when we lived in a small second floor apartment.

He also received Adequan dose today, for which I was charged an exorbitant amount because I forgot my only bottle. In the past, back when we had better regulation, I noted it affected his BG somewhat. My vet checked about that, but no one else seems to have established that as a clinically seen side effect.

I only want to keep him below 300 at this point.
