I'm new to the forum, my cat Ceasar has been diabetic for 4 years. He had been well controlled till about 8 weeks ago his sugar dropped to 32 and he was hospitalized with pancreatitis. In the hospital his sugar went high and then when given even a unit of insulin it would go extremely low. My vet took him off insulin completely for 6 weeks. We did a fructosamine test which was in the normal level. I started doing home testing finding his sugars to be above 300 almost every check. We started him on 1 unit of insulin. (he is on Lantus) and been checking his blood sugars for over two weeks at different times. His lowest was 43 and his highest was 456. I give his shot 2 times a day.I try to give his shot 6am and 6pm. I'm trying to understand the glucose curve. I feed wet food (friskies or 9lives) and dry purina DM . I have 8 cats so the feeding is difficult. I feed my other cats Science diet and the same can food. My question is when should I not not give a shot I've read under 200...Today his sugar was 138 so I didn't give his shot. Im trying to get him to eat only wet food. I want to get him more regulated . Any help or advice is greatly appreciated....
