Which insulin is your cat on?

 

Lantus

 

Hopefully someone will post here but I'd suggest you post in the Lantus forum for the answer to your question.

It would help if you can add to your signature line your cat's name, date of diagnosis, insulin, food feeding, and any other medical conditions if applicable so members can assist you faster

Just click on your profile/name, then click on signature, add the info and press save.

 

Because Lantus is a depot insulin, shooting early does act like a dose increase. If you have to shoot one hour early, depending upon the pre shot test number, maybe you could give a slightly reduced dose that cycle. I don't think I'd advise shooting 2 hours early and then leaving the house, as that could really affect the depot and act like a dose increase. If you're only going to be gone in a couple of hours, I guess you could manage, as long as you would be home to test the rest of the day, but if not, I would advise against it.
Do you have a spreadsheet set up?
