Tom, do you mean dosing more than twice a day?
From the Vetsulin sticky post:
Q: The insulin isn’t lasting very long in my cat, nowhere near 12 hours. What can I do?
Some cats do get only a short duration with Caninsulin/Vetsulin. If this happens consistently you may want to consider switching to a longer lasting insulin. Alternatively, if you have gained sufficient experience - and if your schedule permits - it might be possible to give three shots a day instead of two. This needs to be done with great care and is not a technique for a beginner. Do not attempt this without first getting advice on the forum and having an experienced member who is willing to guide you through this process. Practically speaking, shooting every 8 hours is very hard on the caregiver’s schedule since you need to consider being awake to test your cat!
You might want to talk with @Wendy&Neko if you haven't already.

Here's the link to your post on the Feline Health forum where you also asked this question; Help please. Missy& new forum reader
This forum is rather quiet, best to continue posting on Feline Health for now. The 3 times a day shot is an advanced technique and probably not something to be considered until you get quite a bit more test data. For example, right now we don't know at what point Missy nadirs, or tends to have her lowest numbers.
