Not looking too bad. Just a suggestion, post the complete day's numbers in one post, rather than a bunch of single posts, that way it's easier to see the whole day's range and pattern.
Riley, 8 yr. old maltipoo, 25 lbs., diagnosed Feb 2017, taking thyroid meds, had pancreatitis and DKA mid March, eating Wellness Senior formula can food. NPH dosage now at 9.0 units Humulin N. Adding either pumpkin, spinach, blueberries, yams, or green beans to his food. Also omega-3 oil.
Part of that is for me. I forget to send the spreadsheet to work or home sometimes so I can track them here and then add them in. Her back legs are a bit better, but she still isn't doing the best going up and down steps etc.
Wife didn't realize I fed Snowball this morning and fed her again so she ate twice. She seems to be doing well so far and her numbers were fine at 9am.
Jesse can eat extra food from her enterprising ways of finding it and on many occasions it did not create high sugar . Even something sugary
Jesse-26 lbs - 16.5 years old ,11 years diabetic, one meal a day homemade and a vitabone snack . 3 shots of Novolin( under the Relion name ) a day . Total insulin for a 24 hour period is 6.5 units of NPH insulin .

She has been high all day just about. 4 hundreds and 5 hundreds. I gave her half her food tonight so hopefully she back to normal in the morning. She didn't want to eat all that much tonight anyway.
Did not run tests over the weekend as snowball seemed to be doing well. Tested this morning and it was 541 which surprised me. Been better rest of the day. She is on 3.5U all the time. She played with her toys last night which she hasn't done except for one day in the past 2 or 3 months and it used to be every night. She seems better, but I'm worried there is permanent nerve damage in the back legs as she is scared to go down the little step out the back door or up the step to get back in and that was never a problem before.
glad snowball feels better . sometimes a break from testing can be a good thing

I strongly doubt permanent nerve damage happens that quickly. More probably the bit of neuropathy she may have had is still slowly diminishing, as sugar levels become better and more consistent.
In humans, nerve damage is a long slow process, over many years for controlled diabetes.

Just an update, she still doing well. She had a little issue in late november early december as her food dose got messed up and she went a little low on the blood sugar and got a little numb again but lately she is fine. Doing 3 units morning and night with 1/3 a cup food in the morning and at night.
