My cat, Costello, has diabetes, and I just started him on PZI about a month ago. A recent rundown: After an injection of 4 units of PZI on Fri. afternoon, when his reading was 471 mg/dl, it dropped down to 89 by 1:30 am. So then I gave him 2 units of PZI and by 8:30 am it was down to 45. So I skipped injection. By 12:30 PM it was up to 161, and then I gave him 1/2 unit PZI, as in the article. By 7:50 pm it was back up to 558! So I gave him 4 units, and by 3:am it was down to 266. I then gave him 3 units, and at 10:AM, Sunday it was up to 450 mg/dl. Then I gave him 4 units PZI. When it went down to 161, should I have given him more than half a unit? Is it only after the big glucose swings have stabilized that you can skip a shot, or give a tiny injection, with a low reading?
