Cats that have been recently diagnosed with feline diabetes may need their initial medication adjusted during the first few days or weeks of treatment. This is something that your vet will do based on blood sugar levels and other tests done on your cat. Please do not adjust medication on your own. Insulin dosages are often adjusted at the beginning of treatment. It’s common for some cats to be labeled “insulin resistant” when blood sugar levels reveal a larger dose of insulin is needed. Sometimes a cat’s body needs a stronger dose while other times an illness or infection could be causing a change in blood sugar levels. Your vet will need to run tests to find the cause. If your cat appears to be disoriented, confused, weak, restless, has an appetite change or even shivering then she may be suffering from hypoglycemia which can occur if you give her too much insulin.
