Keep up the great work. Baby steps, my friend. You're on your way.
Happy to see that.

Seeing that blue makes me wonder what's happening during the middle of the cycle. For some cats that are started on a high dose of insulin, it can kick their pancreas into gear. It's like a jump start. Those red numbers could be bounces from lower numbers. Since it's the weekend, would it be possible for you to get more mid-cycle tests, especially during the PM cycle so you can tell if, in fact, Teronto is seeing more blues than you've been able to catch?

Hi Sienne and Gabby,
We are in the middle of doing a BG Curve today. I haven't been on this week because I'm still in the middle of getting my mid-term done and studying for a proctored exam.
I wanted to do the curve because I'm finding that Teronto's BGs are in the normal range in the morning. He's still currently getting only 1u but I don't give him a shot when he's low like that cause no one is home during the day and I can't leave food out at all. He's a gobbler. I have to supervise every feeding because if I don't he'll eat his food and his sister's food and then beg for more. LOL
Hopefully I'll be able to get on here later tonight and post today's BG curve. I'm testing every 2 hours. :smile:

Hi Pauline. I was just checking out Teronto's spreadsheet and see that 40 at +4. That would mean a dose reduction.
Do you have the syringes with the 1/2 unit marks on them? As I think your next dose is going to be 0.75 units.
How is Teronto eating, okay?
We always say to feed the forties, and I don't know how long ago that +4 was, but if would test again in 15 minutes with a 40, as you don't want Teronto to get too much lower.
Please keep us updated, okay?

Ditto on what Dyana said. You might want to bookmark or print out these instructions on handling low numbers.
Your dose for tonight will be 0.75u.

Hi there and welcome 
Quite the week you have had - initiation by fire, like so many of us.
Glad to see things on a safe path. You have been given excellent guidance.
How is Terento overall - any notable changes since starting him on Lantus? Did the vet run full bloodwork? If so, did everything else look OK?
How much longer before the trip you mentioned?
Hang in there, you are doing great!
