I took Sam to another vet for a second opinion (in the two years he's been diabetic he's never been close to being regulated) and I really liked the...
I haven't been here in ages and for that I apologize. I am extremely busy, but then aren't we all? It shouldn't be an excuse. Sam isn't even close...
Can someone educate me on the difference? Some background: Sam is currently on Prozinc and has been for some time with steadily increasing doses...
I want to switch Sam to Levemir as he's up to 4 units of Prozinc a day and still has AMPS and PMPS in the mid-high 300's with occasional drifts into...
Sam had a check up at the vet again today since after his last check up after his dental it was discovered that some of his sutures had come loose...
Since Sam went in for his dental, the vet and I had a little talk about not being afraid to be more aggressive with his insulin doses. (His numbers...
Just dropped him off for his dental. I told them no covenia and no metacam, which was fine with them. They never use metacam on cats anyway but they...
Let me start a few days back - I started Sam (and all my cats) on biotin (water soluble B vitamin) and fish oil supplements a few days ago. I'd heard...
I have some diabetic human friends who've had great success with biotin (a water soluble B vitamin) in regards to lowering blood sugar levels and...
I called the vet and scheduled Sam's dental. Earliest they had was May 9th, but that's okay. It's still plenty of time before my trip at the end of...
Hi all! I know, I haven't been here in forever and I shouldn't be here now with the amount of work I have hanging over my head, but there's no real...
AMPS - 453 +3 - 298 We're up to 1.5 units now and still not getting the kind of results I've been hoping for. I really feel strongly that something...
AMPS - 247 Shot 1.2 which I now think was a little ambitious, but based on how little movement he was getting from 1.4 I didn't want to waste an...
At his +6 he was 276, so I gave him another .6 shot. He's at 267 now and I'd kind of like to give him his full dose of 1.3 to try to give him some...
I feel so discouraged this morning. I upped him to 1.3 but am planning on upping him to 1.6 tomorrow if he's still in the red. Also, I'm making an...
AMPS 345 - shot 1.2 +2 292 +5 181 +6 161 Am hopeful for better numbers today with that lower AMPS. Fingers crossed for green!
AMPS - 414 Shot 1.2 +2 - 347 Was hoping for more of a drop. +4 - 188 Well, that looks promising! +5 - 178 (checking hourly to see where the nadir...
The good news - no ketones! The bad news - +6 was 245. I'm seriously thinking about giving him a full 1 unit tomorrow to push for some good...
Donna's post about Asher needing a dental made me wonder about Sam, so I decided to have a better look at his teeth. I put him belly up on my legs to...
AMPS - 320 +3 - 197 +6 - 321 +9 - 399 We're just not getting that nice nadir and no greens. I think it's time to up his dose to .5 or even .6. I am...
