Buddy's been doing well and it's been a little over two weeks with no insulin. At this point I'll probably do a spot check every other day unless a...
I started out with the Relion 26 gauge lancets without using the device, without having much luck. I ordered the Care Touch lancing device from...
Hi Alexandra, there is a link to statistical study type of paper that links diabetic cats to a dry food (high carbohydrate) diet, as well as some...
First, please don't consider me an expert on feline diabetes. Although I am in somewhat of a unique position in that I myself am I diabetic, I don't...
Well, there are three primary blood sugar components that the insulin needs to counteract for control. The first is the background blood sugar level...
Take a look at your 4/28 PM and your 4/29 AM numbers. Your +5 readings seem to be a better reflection of the nadir. I'd agree that your 5/2 PM...
Buddy...and his two feral friends...are now being fed Friskies Pate (Turkey & Giblets) and I sprinkle some Young Again Zero Mature kibble over it....
Yes, the low carb diet seemed to come as a surprise to my vet, too. At our first visit, she recommended that Buddy eat a hairball formula...
Exactly. And to add to that, I feel that older vets might also be a little out of touch with things like low carbohydrate diets and the different...
Thanks! My fingers are crossed too, and I'm trying to teach Buddy how to cross his toes. We got another good NS number tonight so this has been a...
Thanks guys! Things just got more interesting. I just took a reading at +3 1/2 hrs after meal time, and it's down to 92. But even with the level of...
Buddy's been on Prozinc a little over a week and a half now, and his glucose levels have been improving since. This morning his preshot BS was 101...
WalMart carries a few types of insulin under their Reli-on brand. Their NPH is the type that is most suited for pet use and some vets still prescribe...
Ooops...please take a look again and let me know if you can view the SS. Thanks!
Thought I'd post a follow-up on Buddy and how we're doing, but first a big THANK YOU to everyone that posted advice and suggestions. I met with the...
Hi Nightshade, relax and do some research and develop a plan. My cat Buddy was diagnosed a week ago and his blood sugar was over 600 on the vet's...
Hi Cat mom, I've only got about two days worth of blood sugar data on Buddy, but at this point I'm not very happy with it. I'm diabetic and not...
Thanks to both of you guys. I have, and will continue to do some more research on ProZinc and Lantus. At this point, I still have a slight preference...
Thanks, spreadsheets are really useful for tracking data like this. In fact, I started one last night (Excel) and have it on my computer. But for...
Ha ha, the kitties have always seemed to like me and I've never had a problem with them. Women, on the other hand, are a completely different story....
