Because Lantus is a depot insulin (read more about that here: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/what-is-the-insulin-depot.150/), dosage...
Our living space is 32 feet long, and the clay litter box is in the middle. Sigh. We brought a Roomba, so we try to run that a couple of times a...
Holy cow guys! Boris has been in the green for two days. TWO SOLID DAYS! I think we finally solved his erratic BG issue - when we moved into the RV,...
I know, right??? He had a rough weekend, and we are still trying to puzzle out what was going on with him (lethargy and inappetence). But he's back...
I always have weird dreams when I'm sick. I hope you feel better soon! Nice start for Mowgli! I hope he continues on this way!
Well, Boris up chucked a hairball sometime overnight... that should explain his increasing numbers yesterday. Whether he's back down this morning...
He currently gets fed half a can of FF pate every 6 hours. We started doing that a while back, and that definitely helped stabilize his numbers while...
Boris hasn't had insulin for 16 days now, and while his numbers aren't high, they aren't exactly "normal" either. Looking over his SS, he has more...
Actually, after looking back through his spreadsheet, it appears he pukes most often after eating the Merrick Surfin' & Turfin'. I wonder if he has a...
Well, today he threw up his mostly undigested breakfast about 4 hours later. Now his lunchtime +6 BG is 227. Hopefully he's just percolating a...
We are feeding them every 6 hours, and trying to keep the meal sizes similar. We tried smaller meals in between shot times, but that didn't seem to...
Essentially yes, I believe it was the same. We were pulling insulin in until we just grazed the 0 line on the syringe.
Took Boris off of insulin 13 days ago. His numbers haven't been very consistent, and a little higher than what would be considered remission,...
Hope Mowgli clears this bounce soon!
You know, in thinking about this more, maybe we just need to spread the calories out more evenly across meals instead? Right now they get 1/3 of a...
That sounds reasonable for us... we'll give that a try!
Hmm... won't that raise his BG?
We currently feed every 6 hours, using a timed feeder overnight. At shot times he gets 1/3 of a 5.5oz can, and at +6 times he gets 1/3 of a 3oz can....
It looks like Jackson has come down nicely since the start of his SS, so you too may face this conundrum in the future! ;) I have to say, when we...
It appears you're getting him back into safer numbers now with that 78. Just don't get complacent, and keep testing him to make sure he doesn't go...
