I know we have two members in Oklahoma but I am not sure where. It looks like you aren't too far from Oklahoma City? I sent a message to Melissa and Tarragon and Squeaky and KT. Maybe they can help.
Responding to your last question on the other thread. Don't spend any time even thinking about feeling guilty. Most of didn't even realize cats could be diabetic before we chanced on this site, and certainly no one thought about home testing. Many people just think it will be too much work to even do the shots and they put the cat to sleep. You, in contrast, are busy working to do everything you can to help your kitty.
We had a Humulin support forum years ago when people were still using it. It is no longer active but there are still posts there and information on the stickies. It might be helpful for you to read through the old threads to see how people used it.

Did you order the free testing kit?

Unfortunately I'm over 4 hours SW of Lindsay, Melissa is about that far, just a different direction - RATS!!! Maybe someone near OKCity? I know we DID have a member near there....that's actually quite a bit closer.
BIG HUG! You CAN learn to do this! KT's not a snugglebug either, I test him while he's laying on the floor, table, anything solid...

I haven't. I know $8 isn't much. But I have been sick for some time and not working and recently had surgery. I'm on a "need to survive budget" right now
. Luckily I have both the cat and my dog stocked up with supplies but as soon as I can get back to work I will order it.
