Hello Tanya. Austin is hanging in there. Blood sugars have bee consistently higher since the switch back to Lantus. I think I need to get new...
Thank you, done. :-)
Thank you for your support, Tanya. I did post on the Lantus board, and don't know how to change the title on this board. If I don't get others...
If a test that cost as much as the endoscopy was needed, I don't know if I could afford it-especially since she said it was for diagnosing cancer in...
Neither pet had ever been on Prednisone. They were just 12 years old, and I was a victim of the "nurse curse", LOL.
I told my Vet several times that I highly doubted a urine infection was present shortly after a course of antibiotics, but she was insistent, and I...
Thank you for the advice. I have been an RN for many, many years, and I am pretty good at "eyeballing" the colors on the strips. Also, I had been...
Thank you for responding, Tanya. Austin is not currently on antibiotics. That was just before diagnosis. I wondered if the infection he had then...
Ok, I can keep the dose at 2.5 for now. I will get all my pre-shot tests done. I am off tomorrow afternoon, but have errands. Will fit in a 3 hour...
Thank you Wendy. The dry food is what my other cat eats. It has taken me along time to find something that doesn't irritate her allergies, so I don't...
Hello all. My cat Austin was diagnosed in Jan this year, and started on Lantus. Dose started at 1 unit, and per my Vet's direction, went to 2 units,...

Pre feed glucose 414. Kind of expected. At least it's not upper 400/500. Will try and get one at about 4 hours for the nadir. I am hoping he will...
Thank you. I am more sure that I made the right decision to change from the Lantus. Whether it was a bad vial, or not the right insulin, at least now...
Ok! A 5 hour test is 252. We are definitely heading in the right direction.
Hello, Linda. Thanks for responding. Austin was started on Lantus Jan 4 at 1 unit. Over the course of almost 2 months, he was increased from that to...
Got a 367 at the 5.5 hour mark, the lowest number I have seen since diagnosis. Will increase tonight. The question is do I increase to 1.4 or 1.6...
Glad to see another pink number today. Thank you for your input, Janet. I am doing a couple checks at the time for predicted peak effect of the...
OK, another "pink" number at 6 hours- 386. Will plan to stay on the 1.2 units. After a full week on that dose, I will do a Q 2 hr curve and see what...
Thank you. It was not my preference to not test (though my vet says that I should have only done a glucose curve after Austin had been on the 1 unit...
