? Numbers keep bouncing

[Zelda & Walter]

Hi—vet increased the insulin to 2.5 last week but the numbers are still high. Lady night, finally got a number under 300 but this morning, it’s at 711. He’s eating a combInation of Fancy Feast classic pate (beef) and PURINA DM selects. I feed him in the morning, evening, and a smaller portion at midday. He’s hungry all the time. I’m reluctant to increase the dosage too rapidly because he’s had DKA three times— was hospitalized once as a result.
Spreadsheet is current ( finished completing it last night). I hope it’s attached properly
Any advice welcomed.

Can you add to your profile which insulin it is? People familiar with your insulin can help. Good job getting the spreadsheet up. The dm selects is a medium carb food. I would save that one for when you are trying to raise the numbers. Stick with the fancy feast. Try whenever you can to get at least one mid cycle number.

Thanks Janet. Just added Lantus to the signature. I wondered about the DM. The vet had prescribed it but when I saw the carb content I was concerned. I appreciate your input on that front. Will get a mud-cycle number.

Since it’s Lantus, I would ask your question in the Lantus section. My cat is on a different insulin that’s dose differently, but they should be able to help you.
