I’ve read a few recent papers on pancreatitis that have said that way more cats have pancreatitis than was previously thought, based on autopsies...
Prozinc has a bit more flexibility than some of the other insulins so you should be able to stall up to 20-30 mins with no issues
The fructosamine is not necessary. It just gives an idea of the average blood glucose numbers over the last ~2 weeks, which you already know since...
Wow, great numbers today! :cat:
Vetsulin doesn’t usually have a very long duration, so this can sometimes be a sign that the pancreas is “sputtering” and producing some insulin on...
Excellent to hear! :cat:
I think we have all had this thought at some point! You can always test yourself to check and be sure :cat:
10 minutes is likely too short of time frame for the stress to have an effect, so probably something else going on. Yes, bounces are normal! A lot of...
Has he been checked for any medical conditions that might cause the weight gain? Thyroid is normal? If so, the issue is probably the free feeding, to...
How long did it take you to get the reading? Stress does affect blood sugar, but I don’t think it’s quite that quick of a process, although I’m not...
Here is your previous post where @JanetNJ suggested 1.5u. Let’s see if she still thinks it would be okay to move up to that dose :cat:
All the Instinct originals are low carb :cat: They have rabbit, venison, salmon, and also duck if you’re not ruling out all poultry. They also have...
Two brands that I’ve found are Instinct and Ziwipeak. My cat eats Instinct original rabbit (according to the food chart, the limited ingredient...
Definitely a good idea if you are able to! Most cats don’t hit their lowest point on Prozinc until +4-7, so +3 is a little early in the cycle for a 69
I will tag @JanetNJ for you to see what she thinks, but per the Prozinc dosing sticky, if you are following SLGS and not the modified method:...
Hi Kiera! So 65 was the lowest reading you got? And on a human meter, correct? If so, that number is not technically a hypo number (we say under 50...
TR and SLGS are two dosing methods that are specific to Lantus, so you don’t need to worry about that part since you are using Vetsulin. Acromegaly,...
Hi and welcome :cat: There are actually several scientific sources that are used to support most of the information given here. Here’s some links to...
It can happen to cats. “No insulin no hypo” gets repeated a lot around here, and while it’s mostly true, cats not on insulin can still have...
Hi Kiera! Sorry no one got around to your original question yesterday - sometimes this forum can be a little slow depending on when you post. If you...
