Hi there. Sparkle is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing that photo; it made me smile. How can we help? Are you saying that you don't test her blood glucose every day? How is she feeling? Does she seem well to you? Are you saying that her dose of ProZinc is .2 units (using U-100 syringes, I assume, instead of the U-40s normally used with ProZinc?)
 
dont test daily, because sparkie is always high 24 the testing does not seem to make much difference as to the situation.
sparkie is feeling well, eating well two times a day wet food
u40 with 2 level in morning and u40 with 2 level in evening
gave up with libra since really made no difference to what we did above.

ideally like to move to once a day for inject but dont know how to at present

Well ProZinc only lasts about 12 hours per injection — sometimes 14 hours in a few cats and sometimes less in others. It is definitely best to shoot every 12 hours in order to keep your cat in better glucose numbers. Without a spreadsheet of data, it is not possible for me to comment specifically on Sparkie’s situation, but you seem to feel that she is very high in her BG?
 
So without testing data, we cannot know if your sweet kitty needs an insulin increase or an insulin reduction. You need to know what her preshot numbers are (to make sure it is even safe to administer insulin) and nadir numbers (the lowest point in the cycle) to be able to determine if the insulin dose is safe and if it needs adjusting.
