Need Help

All,

Nana has been doing well with 2 units of Vetsulin once a day. All of the sudden, she is not responding to the 2 units.

I checked for a UTI and it came back negative. Can someone please take a look at her sheet? Am I doing something wrong?

The vet said to increase 3 units once a day.

Thank you!

 

Hi. Why does she only get one dose a day? Vetsulin is supposed to be given to cats twice a day. http://www.vetsulin.com/vet/Cats_DosingOverview.aspx

Update: Never mind, I see in the spreadsheet that you are actually giving two doses a day now.

 

I also took her BG with 3 meters.

@1 hour
AlphaTrak2- 380
Contour Next- 286

@ 4 hours
AlphaTrak2- 284
Contour Next- 227
Prodigy- 258

She is only eating wet food and Young again.

 

I had two different Vets tell me to give her just 2 units once a day. I told them I thought it should twice a day, but they told me to just once a day.

 

It sounds like these vets think she is a dog. http://www.vetsulin.com/vet/DosingOverview.aspx

So, are you giving just one shot a day or are you giving two now? The spreadsheet looks like you recently started giving two.

Does she have any other issues going on right now like maybe a need for dental work?

 

I started giving her a dose at night because her BG was high.

She seems to be fine (eating and drinking normally). No symptoms of diabetes, except for the high BG. I checked her for ketones on Monday and it was negative.

It's really weird. One day the 2 units worked, and the next it didn't work. So I am baffled. I bought 3 new bottles of vetsulin to make sure it wasn't the insulin.

 

This is a great guide to using your insulin:
