I thought I was okay with all the bouncing around, but getting a reading of over 600 at +11 and then 566 at +7 has me completely despondent. What can I do? Backtrack, and give him 1u until that settles? Have him hospitalized with a vet who knows what he's doing? (which I can't afford and which would probably just stress him out and make it all worse). Accept the fact that all these spikes are destroying his organs, and just do the best I can knowing his life is being shortened every time? I'm in tears.
My husband is frustrated that I'm spending so much time on this, which, of course, makes me angry, upset, and surprised. He agreed with me that we spend an enormous amount of money we could ill afford to have cancer surgery for Max 4 years ago. (It could not have spread; it was benign and completely encapsulated in his thymus which was removed. We didn't have a baby then.) I know my husband is just frustrated, too, but it's hard to hear that I'm doing too much when what I'm doing isn't even getting the results I want.
Is this the wrong insulin? Does he have cancer in his pancreas? The vet said he didn't think so, but I take that with a grain of salt. He was obviously wrong about starting at 2u. At least he called in the 1/2 unit syringes for me without asking why or giving me any grief.
I have so much stress in my life that has nothing to do with Max, and I've suffered so many stressful events in the last couple of years. I just can't stand the thought of another, least of all losing a cat I've had 16 years for no good reason.
