    Congratulations Simba and Jennifer. It takes a special person to take on a special needs cat.
    OTJ day 14 no juice cat.jpg
    ^NOT!
    Here are some tips to stay OTJ (off-the-juice, insulin being the juice)
    1. Never feed dry - not even treats. If you change wet food types, be 100% sure the new food is also low carb and same low carb % as your current food. Some cats are very carb sensitive and an increase from 3-6% to 8-10% can spike the BG’s. Don’t feed if you aren’t sure!
    2. Weigh every 2 weeks to 1 month to watch for weight changes. Too much of a weight gain can cause loss of remission. Too much of a weight loss alerts you to other issues, such as hyperthyroidism.
    3. Measure blood once a week, indefinitely if possible. You want to catch a relapse quickly. Some people only do checks every 2 weeks to a month. BG checks can sometimes alert you to other issues.
    4. No steroids or oral meds with sugar - remind your vet whenever giving you any medication. Always double check. (Steroids may be needed for other medical issues. But remind your vet your cat is a diabetic, diet controlled.)
    5. Monitor food intake, peeing and drinking. If increasing, a sign of losing remission. Or another medical condition like Hyper-T or kidney disease.
    6. Regular vet checks for infection such as dental , ear or UTI. And get them treated quickly!

    If your cat does fall out of remission you need to be more aggressive and resolve issues/ back on insulin as soon as possible as the window for a second remission is tight if any. Pancreatitis, hyperthyroid, dental issues are the most common reasons cats fall out of remission.

    Treasure every day with Simba.

    Thank you! Do I need to monitor ketones as well? Is the AM time the best time to test blood sugar?

    I kind of did random BG checks. Not just AM or PM but sometimes in the middle of the cycle. And if he looked a bit off, I'd test my cat. Caught some UTI's that way.

    Monitoring for Ketones after OTJ? Good question. Don't know. You should ask that question over on the Lantus forum. When you find out, let me know.

    No, not really...but if he seems to be off for any reason, it sure won't hurt to check!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy for you and Simba!!
