Hi again, It has been a while since I have been on here but I am hoping for a little advice about dosing. Following my cat's last incident he was lowered to 1.25 units of prozinc insulin. On 2.10 I noticed some odd behavior and found he was quite low and gave syrup and food. I then lowered him to one unit of insulin. After even more hypo values I further lowered him to slightly less than one. Our veterinarian agreed with this choice but I am still seeing some high values and his energy is very low during the high BG times. If someone has the time to review my values that would be wonderful. The spreadsheet link isn't working so I am just going to attach the doc I have from his last few weeks. First, you will find some random values I just took to check in and now what I have been doing is testing morning, afternoon (when possible), and night. Any opinions would be great. I don't like seeing his values so high but the very low values scare me more. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at his values It's not uploading or allowing me to drag it so I have just copied and pasted below.

Sending a tag to a couple of people, to see if they can help link your SS to your User Id Signature. @Bandit's Mom @Chris & China (GA) Would one of you please help Laura get her SS in her signature? Thanks. The list is a bit hard to follow. Can't picture very well what is going on each cycle. Are you following the SLGS or the MPM dosing method? I've attached the thread that talks about the methods we use here. They can also be found at the top of this Prozinc ISG forum, and are pinned or "Sticky" posts. Sticky PROZINC DOSING METHODS
Thank you for linking this information. In reading through the dosing methods I don't believe I can say either fit our situation. Currently, we are just following vet recommendations based off of glucose curves. When diagnosed on 1/25/2020 our cat began at 1 unit and shortly after was up to 1.5 units of insulin. We briefly had him on 2 units, back down to 1.5, then 1.25 then again at 1 unit. All changes were based on significantly low values in his curves, a hypo episode where we had to give him sugar, or trending high values. On February 22nd I dropped him to slightly less than one unit but it is hard to gauge if we are doing the right thing because now he is still hitting values in the 300s. I will read further into your dosing methods. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the resources on this site!
