Feed a couple more teaspoons of low carb food to prevent/slow the drop. Update with his test in 30 minutes.
If you really need to get some sleep tonight, skip the dose. He’ll be high in the morning but that will be as expected. Do not give more than 1 unit...
Stall, don’t feed and retest in 20 mins from your last test to see if his blood sugar is trending back upwards
@Wendy&Neko i just retested, he's at 157 now so I shot 15 units
I can monitor closely tonight. So I can go ahead and shoot 15 units?
Previous June 7, 2018 Hi Everyone, Thomas's PMPS was 70. My husband fed him while I was writing this message. I'm wondering how much to shoot. I...
@Wendy&Neko The pasireotide quote was $4200/month. Washington State is the furthest distance of the three options. Plus it sound slightly different...
I've been feeling very overwhelmed with what we should do. Our vet has been wonderful looking into everything for us and making all the phone calls....
@Chris & China I realize that no insurance company will pay for pre-existing conditions so I'm on my own for Thomas. For my other cats, if we signed...

My vet has mentioned pasireotide. I think Thomas is the first acrocat my vet office has treated. I'm going to ask next time because now I'm curious....
Previous June 7, 2018 Hi Everyone, It has been confirmed. Thomas is positive for acromegaly and IAA. How did we get so lucky? I was hoping he was...
As the dose continued to increase I knew there had to be an explanation. Here's hoping that it's only IAA because at least it is rate limiting. I'm...
Previous June 6, 2018 Gave 11 units last night and Thomas's sugar immediately increased. Went back to 11.5 units this morning but was also...
Previous June 5, 2018 Thomas is doing so well, I'm glad the insulin is finally doing something. We continue to wait for IGF and IAA results. I'm not...
Thomas earned a reduction during the AM cycle. PMPS +7 and he's at 67. Does this mean that he's earned another reduction? I understand the depot...
I'm impressed with how well he's doing, I keep expecting his reading to be 250-350. He's still very hungry but basically spends the whole day...
@Mandy & Rex Should I do a +3 as well? Or can I wait till +4?
I have fed and given him his shot
I'll be home, shoot the regular dose?
