Wish I could figure out the dosage.....too high....too low.......finally a green #.....it's been a few weeks since we've had a green #.....such a hard time getting him regulated....trying to analyze the ss.....did we give him too much, did we not give him enough.....?
 
That doesn't make sense. Some cats have very late nadirs. @Bobbie And Bubba had late nadirs but they were a pretty consistent pattern. I don't see any late nadirs in the past few cycles. What is your life like the next few days? You could "chase the number" this cycle. So test until you get a shootable number and then dose then. That throws your schedule off because the next shot would have to be 12 hours from that shot. You can get back 30 minutes at a time if you do that. The other alternative is to wait until pmps to shoot. He is likely to be high, but I think I would reduce the dose a little.
 
Hey Becky, I just peaked at your SS and it is interesting. Bubba has a late nadir and his SS looked a bit like yours. He doesn't always have a late nadir so it made figuring out his patterns hard. It's hard to know right now if kitty (sorry don't know your kitty's name ) is hanging onto the insulin more than 12 hours thus the lower green numbers or if kitty is nadiring then.

Can you some test in at night which will really help us to see the patterns a bit better also most cats go lower during the night time. And another good time would be to get a +11 in the PM cycle so we can see if kitty is still dropping or on the way back up again. The more varied times of test you can get will help to figure it out.
