Lantus has apparently settled (or something)

The following numbers and my insulin-amount decisions may make me look crazy. Whatever my decisions or results were, I STRONGLY and VEHEMENTLY advise against using them as a guide to how to treat any other diabetic cat. Got it? Ok here goes:

7/26
8:27am 52! FED, ate well
9:00am 65 FED MORE, ate well (he always eats well)
9:24am 87, 2u
Yup, I gave him 2u at that number. It's dangerous to do that so I strongly advise against it. However there was someone that was going to be home all day with him and feed him and observe him.
8:14pm 304, 3u
Ah, the effects of gluttony and/or mild rebound. He was fed only low-carb (less than 9%) wet food but he did have quite a bit of it. And he got four little greenies.

7/27
6:11am 236, 3u
4:49pm 245, 3u
Shooting early was a stupid thing to do, esp. given the events the previous day. Lesson learned:
12:00am 50! FED, ate marvelously
12:31am 63 FED, ate well
1:00am 75 Left food out and went to sleep

7/28
5:30am 119
10:15am 204, 2.75u Trying to get him back towards his 8am/8pm schedule
5:24pm 188
10:20pm 156, 2.75u
12:45am 164

7/29
8:00am 244, 2.5u
8:16pm 157, 2.5u

Notes for this week are a lessening of his pu and I also note that I just can't afford all of the OTU strips. Since his ears have learned to bleed better and my tests at work continue to show the Elite to be the most accurate, I am switching back.
