? Newly diagnosed And confused

Edit: i should update that i haven’t started insulin yet because i was transitioning her to wet food and she was being treated for a UTI.

Today was the day I was starting insulin.... for the past 2 mornings her BS was 363 & 354. I left a little wet food out for them ( 1 can of FF and i have 4 cats) before bed. This morning at 3:00 my diabetic girl was waking me up to let me know she was hungry. I fed her and the rest of them 1 more can of FF split between plates for each. This morning at 6:14 she tested at 280 3 hours after she ate a little. With that almost 75 point drop from yesterday morning I’m holding off on insulin again as I can’t come home for lunch today to check her BS. Is it normal for such a change without insulin started?

Changing to low carb food and treating an infection will both bring down numbers since high carb food and infection are both things that raise blood sugar, often significantly.
