I'm having trouble getting my cat regulated. I'm using the U-100 syringes, and she's been increased to 1.8u BID after 3 days of being on 1.6u BID. She's on ProZinc. She's eating Fancy Feast Turkey & Giblets Classic (3 cans a day). She gets boiled chicken treats throughout the day. She's been on ProZinc since May 12th. Back then, she was on 8u BID (per the vet), AND she was on Hill's Prescription W/D dry, and then the week after the 15th, was put on the Hill's Prescription W/D wet, and remained on 8u BID for almost another week. 3 days after being on the wet, she hypo'd (as you can see on the SS). I also started hometesting her that day, too.
There is no UTI, her teeth are fine. Neg. for ketones. I'm apprehensive about increasing her insulin another 0.2 units at this time. I would prefer to wait and see if her body will hopefully adjust to this dosage. Also, if her system doesn't straighten out, I'm afraid that she may go back up to 8u BID again in time.
I'm very frustrated right now, and on the verge of tears (I'm not ashamed to admit that). I'm also looking for work to try and compensate for the cost of this, and I don't need to be taking this stress with me to job interviews.
I greatly appreciate any help/advice that anyone might be able to give me. Thank you in advance.
