    We are less than a week in and are not understanding how the AMPS and PMPS numbers for Hunter are higher now that we started insulin. When diagnosed, we opted to begin first by changing his diet to all wet before starting insulin. he was eating 3-4 times a day 2 large 2 small. We took daily AM fasting numbers to get a baseline before starting insulin the following week. Most were in the 300s, including the day he began treatment. Now that he is on insulin, his AMPS are in the 400s.

    after the first day at 2.0 units, and a NS bc his numbers were so low, we reduced to 1.5 units, and have stayed there

    vet said to feed him only twice per day, right before he gets a shot. the last few days he has eaten two large meals pre shots

    please and thank you for sharing thoughts and experience of why the higher pS numbers, and if feeding schedule plays into it at all

    Where are you going to post. This is confusing. On the ProZinc forum or elsewhere? I just wanted to make sure you are getting help! ❤️
