An update on my diabetic cat Joe: after a fructosamine test about a month ago, our vet reduced his insulin to the smallest measurable dose (0.5 unit) only once a day. We just got the results of his most recent test back and he is still towards the lower end of the normal range... vet said we might try cutting out the insulin entirely but she'd feel more comfortable keeping him on the same dose for now since I still have plenty of supplies and it's now routine for me to give the shots.
TBH the thing that has made the most difference in Joe's care is that his insulin dose is now so low that I don't have to fuss about getting him to eat a big meal before his shots and can let him snack throughout the day, which has always been his normal habit. It's much less stressful for both of us that way.
Anyway, we'll re-evaluate in a couple months.
