New to Forum

Hi, my name is Andrei. My diabetic cat Silvester is 6 years old. He was started on Lantus 2 months ago: first with dose prescribed by the vet, then with the scale I was provided by another forum. I am feeding only FF Chicken pate right now. I live in Canada, and it is not easy to find ready to serve good enough raw food.
This is the scale I am currently using:
LANTUS BG
US ( mg/dl) -------- Metric (mmol/L) ---- Dose
150 - 250 ---------- 8.3 - 13.9 -------- 0.375u
251 - 400 ---------- 14.0 - 22.2 ------- 0.625u
400 + -------------- 22.2 + ------------ 0.875u

It is probably start low, go slow method. I am at home most of the time, and really want to start TR method, to treat the diabetes aggressively.
Which method would be better in my situation?
I do home test.
Thank you

 

Welcome Andrei & Silvester!!!!
That is wonderful that you home test, and feed Silvester LC FF.
If you would like to start a Spread Sheet it will help those more experienced using Lantus be able to better advise and help you. Also I 'm not sure but there is a forum for Lantus & Levimer . It is a very busy forum and you would benefit from that one.
I am not using Lantus therefore unable to give dosing advice.
Someone should be along soon to answer your questions!!!

 

Hi Andrei, and welcome to yourself and Silvester.

The Roomp-Rand published tight regulation protocol for Lantus and other suitable insulins has the best statistical remission rates.

We have a dedicated insulin support group for users of Lantus and Levemir where there are many very experienced members who will be able to help and advise you further about the R-R TR protocol. To get you started, here is a link to the support group's sub-forum. At the top of the board you will find a lot of very informative stickies about treatment with depot insulins and the ins and outs of the protocol.

Hello and welcome.

 

Hi,
Thank you

 

Hello and welcome from a fellow Torontonian. I notice you are interested in raw diets. There is a relatively new pet store called Trail Blazers in Etobicoke near Sherway Gardens that has a huge freezer with quite an extensive selection of raw foods. I have not checked out the cat raw food selection myself but this is a holistic pet food store, they carry a lot of brands I have not seen in the more popular pet stores like Pet Valu or Pet Smart and they even ordered in some food I wanted to try that they didn't carry and were prepared to start stocking it if I wanted it in the future. Great customer service!

 

Oops, , the name of the store should be "TAIL BLAZERS" .
