Hey all, my kitty just started insulin last Thursday and has been consistently in the 200s (ranging from 210-250) but this morning he was at 171 which is a great number to be at for just starting out I thought but I also decided not to give him insulin since he is still so new to this (and so are we) and we don't have a good reading on his patterns just yet. Should I do another test today for him just to see where he's at? How long after the first test should I try? Is this what they call a mid-cycle test, testing mid-day?
No insulin under 200
