How are you checking the blood sugar? Are you doing glucose curves, which is every 2 hours checking the insulin. If not I would do this and see are we giving too much insulin making the blood glucose rebound or maybe not enough. You might want to discuss this with your veterinarian. I would also discuss the possibility of having something called Cushings Disease which make diabetes difficult to control. First I would recommend a glucose curve. I would discuss diet with your veterinarian, since diets will help regulate the glucose also. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
