@Sarahbeth - firstly, welcome :bighug: Secondly, feel free to look at Dusty's sheet below, there is a wet & dry food calculator on it. Not sure if...
I must get in the habit of checking this thread! I used to get email notifications but don't seem to anymore. Great news that prozinc is back. We had...
Just as an update we too struggled (failed!) to get Prozinc, and our vet was not will to prescribe any human insulins saying that the cascade system...
Many thanks for the confirmation Deb. I'll look at getting some U100 syringes (if the vet is happy to prescribe the U100 insulin) - I'm not sure why...
So do the cartridges have a similar rubber membrane then, so you just draw out what you need with a syringe as usual? (Allowing for the concentration...
Out of interest, where do you get your human insulins for feline use? A quick search only seems to return cartridges for use in pens etc?
Many thanks @Elizabeth and Bertie I just rang them on the off-chance, but unfortunately they too are now also saying "sorry, no stock, manufacturer...
Sadly it seems the "few weeks" was not the case; unfortunately I was completely unaware of this, and just went to order Dusty's replacement Prozinc...
Hi all, just thought I'd post a quick update. Happy to report that Dusty is doing much better now, and has healed up nicely. It's taken a long time...
Just wanted to drop in and say "Hi" again to all you folks :) Dusty is still be a peaky-and-troughy as ever, but it seems that 2U is about the sweet...
Hopefully you've had some sort of answer to this by now, but we (personally) tend to avoid any human creams "just in case". I was advised that a...
So sorry to hear about John, hate hearing when the kitty's lose their fight :( I expect they are donated by now, but if by any chance you still...
@Vintry @Elizabeth and Bertie For reference I incorporated a carb-calculator spreadsheet into Dustys SS (linked below), mainly so that I could keep...
Thanks for your reply - what had us / me concerned was that the levels seem to have gone UP despite us increasing the dose. Was wary of ending up...
Ok, so on the 12th, 19th and 30th Jan 2019, 7th and 15th Feb 2019 (today) we have taken curves to see what Dusty's reaction is to the different...
We've been monitoring and adjusting Dusty's BG levels & insulin dose, after backing it right off and "starting again" since we thought she was...
Sooo... We've run another couple of curves with Dusty reduced to 2U of Prozinc twice a day, and boy is she keeping us on our toes! On the 24th we...
Totally agree, some of the syringes sees to be a silly price for what they are! Great that Sox is doing well on a relatively low dose too!
Good luck, hope all goes well with the U100's, I've never used them. Still trying to find the sweet spot for Dusty so we still adjust in 0.5U...
If you've bought the start kit there will be a pot of starter strips in with it. If you use THOSE be sure to set the meter to the number printed on...
