Not necessarily. Guar gum is used as a binder / jelling agent in FF. It is possible for two cans to have the same amount of liquid and same amount of...
If you catch it early and change diet and give a couple hits of insulin to get the blood sugar down, this isn't an unusual story. My Tux had a...
I've been testing him from time to time, and getting blood work done at the vet every six months, and his A1C, fructosamine, and blood sugar levels...
I'm mostly feeding my guy Fancy Feast but I will feed him Dr. Elsey's when necessary due to going out of town etc. (my cat sitter only comes once a...
I just finished ordering some stuff from Chewy that might help the situation -- Fortiflora, and crushed bonita flakes. One of those is certain to...
Young Again Zero has less digestible carbs and a lower glycemic index than Young Again. As in, under 1% carbs. You're comparing apples and oranges....
So, two weeks have passed, and his last two numbers, before I fed him and 2 hours after, were 62 and 63. Looks like we're done on the blood sugar...
I had a lot of trouble getting blood out of my cat Tux's ear. I could not freehand a lancet either, I just don't have the eyesight nor the dexterity...
Young Again Zero doesn't use starch as its binder, it uses guar gum as its binder. This is an soluble fiber that's also sold for humans as a laxative...
Note that cats with normal insulin levels eat less than cats that are insulin-deprived because their cells aren't starved for sugar. Unfortunately...
We caught Tux really early, so it didn't take long to get him regulated. Basically took ten days, and then his numbers settled down after jumping...
If you're not checking your cat's blood glucose on 2u of Lantus, do so ASAP. That dose is a usual starter dose when a cat's diet has *not* been...
I don't think you're going to get good control with Vetsulin at this point. It looks like Vetsulin is just too fast-acting for your cat at her...
The Relion lances I am using for my cat say "26 gauge for alternative sites". They seem to work fine for my cat, but he's not a good bleeder -- I...
Tux will eat the fresh wet food when I just plop it out into the bowl. But after an hour or so he starts yelling at me that his food is stale and...
I finally managed to intercept Tux's stream with one of the ketone wands (he doesn't like me being around when he uses the cat box so I ended up...
My cat and comparing the Relion Confirm with the Contour Next One. Two different batches of Confirm strips from sealed bottles. The Confirm seems to...
Still going! Been 11 days since Tux's last insulin shot. Since then, his lowest reading has been 47, and his highest reading has been 83. I've been...
Good luck finding a good vet. It may be that the best you can do is find an educable vet. My vet isn't that great with diabetes, but he knew upon...
The Catkins diet (low carb, high protein, moderately high fat) definitely helps. If I could, I would give my guy wet food all the time. He got tired...
