Hi guys. So I took Charlie in to work with me again today to recheck a urine sample. He is negative for ketones (YAY!) and he is up one lb from his hospitalization for DKA last weekend. I know that I must be patient with this situation, and believe me, I have to keep reading "the letter from your cat" on here because so much of it is so true. I still am very concerned about how high his numbers get an hour or two before his next shot. Someone had asked if my schedule would permit every 8 hour shots and the only way I would be able to do that would be to take him to work with me every day. I have been taking him all of last week and again today but I think he is getting more stressed out going back and forth to work and I think I am doing more harm than good by making him sit in a cage all day 
but on the other hand, I am petrified to leave him home alone because of the way I found him in his DKA state 9 days ago. My job is too far to go home at lunch time to check on him. I work 8-5 tue, thurs & fri, 8-8 Mondays and have weekends off. Would 8 hour dosing be dangerous to do if it could only be done 3 of 7 days? and then 12 hour on the other days? Does anyone think I should increase his dose? I don't want his peak number to get too low, it once got to 67 and I panicked. I just want to do what is best for my sweetheart. This is killing me.....thank you all so much for your compassion, it has helped me more than you could know! I have updated his SS and total urine results with the hopes that I could receive some direction as to what would you do? I posted this on the main board as well hoping to get as many responses, opinions, feedback as possible. Thank you so much
