Thank you, that makes me feel a little better. I've peeped at a few SSs and I haven't seen the seas of black and red so much. Im not glad it's happened for your cat, but I'm glad to know that it does happen, and they can get lower or even out eventually. Hopefully without much lasting damage.Girlie was in blacks and reds for over a month - I think two months; take a look at her SS. I tested for ketones every day, and she never had any. You'd need a more experienced person to give you advice about dose increases, but from what I've seen, almost everyone hits blacks and reds - especially at the beginning. They bounce a lot as their bodies get used to insulin and lower numbers - at least Girlie and others I know did. As they say, "better a day too high than an hour too low."
I'm reading everything I can and trying to understand it all, some things take awhile to sink in, particularly this depot and overlap stuff. I'm just looking for trends in her numbers and what stands out to me is the days her numbers have often gone up after insulin and continue to go up until right before the next dose, where they either go still higher or dip slightly. Thanks for all of your input and reassurance.
