Struggling with Mo- eating/dose

Hello again everyone,

Mo has me upset this entire weekend. I did take the advice from my last post about keeping .1 dose and giving a snack at +8 or +9. He is taking to the tuna.

Since Thursday when I began transition for time change, Mo began giving me a difficult time with eating his Friskies Pate, but would eat his kibble. I do not believe it is anything health wise because the last time I had this issue he refused everything! He is not acting funny one bit. I truly think he is just being beyond difficult and it is frustrating me like no other...

I knows I will give in to giving him his little bit of kibble so I could give him his shot. So with all this I have a few questions.

1. What are the rules of giving a shot of lantus without food? I don't want to not give him his dose when he needs it, but I also don't want to keep giving in to him with kibble. Yes, is is mature 0 in a very very small amount.

2. How long does it take for the snack to take effect on his pancreas? I am waiting for a paycheck to get an automatic feeder since I need 3 for all of my cats because I know they will fight if I just have one.

3. I keep wondering if he needs more insulin like a .2 but I worry then it will cause shot misses...

Anything will help me guys. This cat is going to give me grey hair along with more stress then I can handle. It is so challenging for me because I am diagnosed OCD specifically with numbers so all of this is killing me.

I just felt like yesterday was a good day for him even though he is giving me trouble with food, but why going back up to the 130's?

I appreciate all of YOU!
 
I would give the +9 snack at least a week or more. This dose is bring him down to the 50’s so it’s working. He does not need to eat a lot at shot time because lantus kicks in around +2. Remember normal is up to 120 and meter variance is 20%.
