    So funny how excited I get when I am actually able to get a BG reading on Whiskey.

    So his last shot of 1 unit PZI was last night around 11:30p.

    I just fed him half a can of Fancy Feast and some scrambled egg. Right after, his BG was 274.

    Now, what's confusing me is, I saw on sugarcats.net, that it's advised you do not give an insulin shot if your diabetic cat is within the desired range of 100-300.

    What do you all think?

    I know I should probably ask my vet, but I haven't done a full glucose curve on him yet, to be able to track his numbers throughout the day.

    Last night after I gave him insulin I have to admit, I didn't sleep well because I was worried about hypoglycemia but he was fine when he woke up. I think I'm becoming paranoid about it from reading the posts of ppl whose cats had it. :(

    Hurray for getting blood! We can help you a lot more if you set up a spreadsheet and log your BG results. It's impossible to know what to say without that info.

    What kind of meter are you using? Some meters read higher then others.
