I am so confused with dosing my cat. She was recently diagnosed and I am really struggling with her insulin shots vs. her blood glucose. We started on 1u which was too high, then went down to .75u which I thought was working well, but maybe we should stick to .5u? But recently we have had to skip shots because she is below 150 (double checked with a manual monitor). Her numbers were normal the other morning, so we skipped her shot, she was normal the whole day but slowly creeped up to 200s, so we gave her her pm shot, then high numbers overnight for some reason, normal am shot, but then her numbers were very normal all day so we skipped her pm shot since it was too low, and she shot way way up overnight last night! Now once again she is too low for her pm shot and I know I can't give her the insulin because she will go hypo overnight, but I really don't want to keep skipping doses and her to keep yo-yoing like this. We are also struggling to get enough calories into her, since she is a light eater and is used to dry food instead of the gourmet wet food we switched her to. Can someone please give me some advice?
