    I recently started checking Rico's glucose at home. I used whatever I have. It's the CVS advantage glucometer. His readings have been between 200 and 250. Is that good or bad.

    Well? Its within diabetic range But Ive seen worse numbers. Why dont you set up a spreadsheet so others can look at his progress?
    You can find that info here:

    Now another issue has started. I seen him purposely not use the litter box. He also is refusing to go go downstairs where the litter box and food is at.

    We really need you to set up a spread sheet and your signature for our helpers to help you.
    Maybe its best you start here:

    Hes not using the LB for a reason. It either hurts him to"GO" so hes associating the LB with pain. Or hes developing neuropathy and its too hard to get into his box... could be why he isnt going down the stairs.

    His glucose level today was 543. That was right before his insulin shot.

    Every thing with insulin revolves around patterns. We CANT see a pattern if there is no spreadsheet.
    If you need help setting it up we have great people that will help you.
