? Newly diagnosed

I'm feeling like a bad mommy. His numbers aren't moving since we were either giving a high dosage or no dosage. Am I feeding too often? He gets Natures Instinct every 2-4 hrs. See his ss. I'm doing the best I can testing. Feeling frustrated. He seems to be doing just fine. I feel like a stock broker waiting for "good" numbers.

 

You're not a bad mommy! It takes a while to get them regulated, it can be a slow process. I know it can be frustrating, but take heart, you'll get there. As far as feeding goes, that's really up to you, and what works best for you and Jimmy. He's a handsome fellow!

 

Jimmy didn't become diabetic overnight.....it's just going to take time

With China, it was 4-5 months before I started to see signs of real progress

Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint!!.....He'll get there!!

 

As much as we want to snap our fingers and make it happen quickly it rarely happens like that. I didn't get good numbers until I was three months after diagnosis. He'll get there. Patience is a virtue.

 

Definitely no reason to feel like a bad mommy . It's not quite 2 weeks since you started the sugar dance. Just to add with some others, it took me about 2 months to have noticeable progress, with even more starting month 4 . On a side note, I see his SS has not been updated since Friday AMPS. I hope you did not stop treatment. Remember, even if you are physically doing this alone, you are NOT alone, you have this community!

 

My dates were incorrect...I am still testing and giving injections. Been in the pink for a bit.

 

Thank you all for the encouragement!

 

Phoebe was diagnosed a couple months ago, still in the 200 and 300s at 8.5 units. It's definitely a marathon. Good luck, head bumps

 

You are doing great it takes time and a lot of patience but you'll get there eventually he is already seeing pinks that's no so bad really hang in there and remember you are not alone

Babu took a lot of months I think it was over 6 to even see some progress

 

What do you use the gabapentin for?

 

The gabapentin is used for inflammation in her bowel and pancreatitis. Also used for nerve pain. It makes her 10 foot tall and bullet proof, or at least grandson proof.

 

Your furbaby is gorgeous! I love panthers
