Regulation questions

Under "What is Regulation?" is says - There may also be an extra category of "mostly above 300 (16.7) but with good clinical signs" which occurs with some cats who are getting insulin. We don't know why it happens, but such a cat probably should not be considered to be regulated.

I'm concerned that this might be my Lou....and if it is what does that mean for his neuropothy?? The pill can only do so much to help and everything I read says that the only way for him to heal and get better is to get his BG under control but he is just holding steady at 2.25U with a high AMPS and PMPS and really good naders. There is nothing for me to adjust or change to help him. My patience pants are getting too tight and cutting off circulation watching him struggle to walk comfortably and having to ask to be picked up to get on the table to eat because he can't even get up on the low chair.

Is it possible that this is just as good as his diabetic journey could get? Or is this the stage where his pancreas is trying to heal and he could still get better? Can someone lay it out for me? I need to know if there is chance he is going to get better or if I need to work on being ok with how he is now....or if I need to be ready for worse. I just need the info please.

 

I do not know but this post will bump your thread to the top.

 

I am also very curious about this...Bee is following the same pattern with even higher AMPS and PMPS but she seem healthy.

 

Nicole, one thing your could do is try a different insulin. Either Lantus or Levemir should be your next option.
Sometimes a cat will do better with BG control on one insulin than another.
You've certainly given Prozinc a good shot at trying to regulate Lou's BG levels.


p.s. How are the ducks doing? Hope all is well with your family and everything else on the farm.

 

I'll see about getting an appt at the vet to talk about a switch. If they don't work with me we'll find another vet.

The farm is going well. Now that the ducks are trained to the coop they are free ranging and have decided that I'm scary and they avoid people at all cost lol. I've started a YouTube channel to share videos of the crazies so I'm having fun making videos right now

 

Link, link, link, link, link. Please. Pretty please. Pretty please with sugar on top?

 

I think I've figured out how to attach it -
