Hi all! Thanks for your responses today. I was reading them at work, even though I wasn't able to respond on here. You all did a good job talking me...
Hi all. My cat, Dexter, has been doing well for a while. He's been on Lantus since August 2018, and has been pretty stable. I keep hoping he will go...
Thank you-- this is incredibly helpful!
I don't -- I bought the syringes on Amazon before realizing that they weren't for microdosing. Where do you buy yours? I seem to not be able to find...
Ok, I will. Thank you!
Ok, just tested. He's 284, which is +2. I gave him 1.5 units this morning, but not he's responding like he should have gotten 2 units.
Ok, thanks. When would you NOT dose him? Under 70? When he showed up as 39 and 53, I was afraid to give him anything.
I can get some today! I usually can't b/c of work, but I'm around all weekend. I'll test today. When he's being bouncy, what is the best method for...
Oops- updated the SS. Yes, after his 39, I didn't give a dose that night.
Dexter has been hard to figure out recently. He's been on 2 units of Lantus for a while, but I'm wondering if he needs to be on 1.5. Recently,...
Hi again-- thanks for all your feedback. Update: the ear hematoma is gone! It was fine this morning, so it must have been a bad test spot/shaking of...
No, you aren't wrong-- I must've tested his ear and caused the bump. I always use a fresh lancet, so I really hope it's not an infection. I...
I usually test right at the edge. I have the AlphaTrak 2 lancet device, and can normally prick pretty close to the edge. I'll try to go even closer...
I was thinking it might be scar tissue, too. I've been trying to test lower down, but sometimes I feel so badly for him, because he has test spots...
Dexter has a lump in his right ear, near where I sometimes prick him for his BG testing. I didn’t notice it before today, so I’m guessing it’s new....
Hi everyone-- I got a +6 (222) and went to bed. He was at 307 AMPS today, so I guess he's fine. I don't know why the pen clicked the way it did, but...
At +3.5 he’s 281, so I’m crossing my fingers that he’s ok. I’ll keep checking tonight, but thanks for all your help.
Dexter was 332 at +1 and 329 at +2. I gave him dry kibble after his mis-dose and I guess he’s okay now. Do you think he’ll be ok? I’ll keep testing...
I know, I need to move to syringes. My vet encouraged this too, and this is all I needed to make the change. I’ll get some ASAP.
Yes, I’ll get a +1 and +2.
