Aww hang in there 
And if you ever do find that font, a ton of people here would like to use it 
Have you considered increasing? I don't personally give dosing advice but looking at your recent curve, it looks like you have room on SLGS to go up. If you want to asking about dosing, just change your title to something like "April 10, Inky - Increase dose?" and you can pick the ? from the drop-down that's available when you edit your title. After your question is answered, you can take down the ? and change your title back to BG readings.
Hope that helps

I just switched him from Blue Buffalo Novel Protein Alligator to Dr Lisa Pierson’s homemade cat food recipe, so I want his system to adjust to that. He wasn’t eating the BB, it seemed to stick in his mouth like peanut butter. The last two days he was eating boneless skinless chicken breast because that is what I had. So far I haven’t seen signs of food allergies, but I have to give it a week. He does seem to be gaining some weight back which is good. His last weight at the vet was about 4 1/2 pounds. I could still take a picture of him and use it for the pic of what a stage 1 too skinny cat looks like.Aww hang in there

ETA On a completely different forum “//end sarcastic font” is used for that. I like it so I brought it with me.

Oh gotcha. Maybe note when you made the diet change in your remarks? I see the chicken breast and then 4/10 is the homemade food? Just would be good to mark down for tracking.
And you may know this but you may want to think about glucose toxicity (where kitty gets used to the higher numbers); the way to combat it is to increase (following a dosing method of course). There's some info here on it (though a bit overwhelming, at least to me TBH).
lol, I think it's a wonderful addition
Hope you and Inky have a good night!

I think that ship may have sailed as he wasn’t dxd with Diabetes for about two months while the vet thought he was losing weight due to possible cancer as he had a normal blood test in November

FWIW, this is common (undiagnosed diabetes) - the first article in the Glucose Toxicity link mentions it. If I'm not mistaken, it's just a matter of finding the right insulin dose to break through it.
Diabetes in Pets, Glucose Toxicity http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/wiki/Glucose_toxicity
Glucose toxicity refers to the oxidizing and hypertonic (dehydrating) properties of hyperglycemia, both of which continually stress and damage tissues in the body. But the term is also specifically used to refer to the phenomenon of temporary insulin resistance brought on by this tissue stress.

I cannot advise on the dose but I do agree with Susanne that Inky would benefit from an increase to .5. Wait until you are comfortable with the new food then certainly pursue the increase. You have been on the .25 units for a while now.
