How to determine if my diabetic cat's insulin dosage needs changing?

Question

Hello. My cat has diabetes. Presently she has injections of 4ml twice a day (morning & evening). I have an electronic insulin blood calculator. If I take 5 readings in one day and pass the results to you will you be able to tell me if to increase or reduce the insulin levels administered. Thank you Carmen.

Hi, you would probably need to go through a consultation as this allows several messages and much more in depth advice. Important information such as when was she first diagnosed and what dosage of insulin she was started on and if she had any blood tests afterwards and what they indicated. What was her initial weight and how is her weight doing. What do you normally feed her and what times. Is she allowed to go outside, what other medications is she on. There are lots of things to consider and a face to face examination is always advisable at least once every six months. However in the short term, you could have a consultation with one of the experts here, hope this helps !
