Opi’s numbers have been way better lately. Is there a no shoot number I should be shooting for. This morning he was 125 so I did give him a skinny dose since I don’t want to just skip shots anymore. I will def be test today and watching.
It kind of depends on if you will be around to monitor. It also depends on how well you know what your cat will do on the insulin dose. You might try a 0.5U fat dose. You've been on the 0.5U dose for quite some time, and not seeing greens at mid-cycle. You want to see those greens, to give Opi's pancreas time to heal and start producing insulin on it's own
There are some people that test way more than you are doing Jena. Where you are missing testing, is in the nighttime cycle. Many cats drop lower at night, as they are more active and burning up more energy with their activity. So, do you think you could get a consistent "before bed" test every night? If you are not away at work that is. Some people even set an alarm now and then, to test later in the night. It depends if you are able to get back to sleep or not, and if your cat is going lower in the cycle. Low numbers need a bit more monitoring.
I will make sure I get at least 1-2 more at night. We are watching Him tonight Since we upped his dose just a little. We are at +4 right now and we are sitting at 99
