+2 is good and if you don't go to bed immediately after, another before bed. It's what I would do, you can ignore me and just do +2 :)
 
Hi Sarah!
Realized it's been a bit since you've posted. Checked in on Midnight's SS, she's looking very nice! :cat:. Noticed some NS in the evening so thought I'd give my 2 cents ;). If your syringes have half unit markings, would you be open to trying to give her 0.25U? It could help balance her out so she can receive two shots a day. While 1 a day is nicer for us, it seems better for their little bodies to be able to receive the 2 shots.
As always, the decision is yours :bighug:
 
Yong - thanks for our post. I had been thinking about asking for someone else to take a look again too. We've worked down from 2 units bid to 0.5 units with PS results from 150 - 250 and 1.0 units with PS results over 250. I thought about moving down more, but it'll be challenging with the syringes we have. I will ask our vet about options at our appointment next week. I'm also wondering if she is bouncing some since she seems to be higher in the morning regularly. What do you think?
 
Possibly because the dose is too high. Most Vet's don't believe in 0.25U doses but there is plenty of evidence here that kitties don't usually go from 1.0U to remission. You can get syringes with half unit markings to make the 0.25U easier to draw ;). Even if her number is a little higher in the morning, do not give more than the 0.5U. How many hours after PMPS do you go to bed? Getting a before bed test can help figure out where she's going overnight :). I still think she would do better with 0.25U to help even out the PS numbers. Should also help bring the AMPS numbers down too.
@JanetNJ @MrWorfMen's Mom What do you ladies think? :cat:

Agreed 1 is too much. I might tRye 0.5 and see if it evens out, but If not enough do 0.75. 1 is def too much though.
 
I too think 1 unit is a bit too much. I agree with Janet....try 0.5u and see if that doesn't level her out a bit and if she needs a bit more, then up it to 0.75u. I wouldn't aim for mid cycle lows in the 50s with Vetsulin...I'd leave a bit more cushion and aim for between 80-90 as minimum lowest readings. That said, Midnight is looking pretty good. Nice work! :D
