His appetite has been great after being released from the hospital. He had bloodwork this week and his pancreatitis has cleared up. I have the ketone...
He was getting 7.5 mg once a day in the morning at 8:00 am and on Thursday his dose was reduced to 5 mg once a day for four months. I’ll make a note...
Lenny was hospitalized Dec 1-5 with pancreatitis and DKA. He is taking prednisilone since then and I’m having higher values which they said would...
I haven’t been keeping the spreadsheet up to date but I test him regularly and I did a urine test for ketones and that’s how I noticed he had them....
Lenny was in the ER from December 1-5 for DKA and pancreatitis. He’s home and doing fine but I have a concert this Saturday night that makes it...
I’m planning on switching insulin to Lantus and spoke to my vet about it. I won’t be able to get the script until next week. Is there something I...
When Lenny was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (1 month ago) his numbers were too high at preshot. She suggested giving a higher dose plus my thinking...
I’m not sure I know what a depot insulin is. What makes it different from Prozinc? If I switch insulin and it wouldn’t work, can I always go back to...
I posted this on the main page but got no replies. I’m hoping someone can help me before tonight’s dose. On May 18 Lenny went to the vet and was...
On May 18 Lenny went to the vet and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (early case). My vet said until his thyroid is under control he’d probably...
When I get a lower number at the preshot time, I tend to get nervous and reduce the dose thinking that it may drop 100 or more which could put it in...
My spreadsheet is about a month behind. After getting so many 400’s, I have been giving him 1.5. Most of the time his preshot numbers have been in...
My cat, Lenny, is about 11 lbs. I test, feed, then shoot. I know it’s important to eat before the insulin but how much food is necessary? I usually...
I posted a few times about what should I do about the dose I should be giving to avoid the high morning numbers. Should I be increasing his dose? I...
I added this in the remarks column but also added it here. The three *** means a half hour. A lot of times I'll test say 7-1/2 hours so I put it...
I increased Lenny’s insulin to 1.5 units. I had a 514 one morning and last night it dropped half in two hours and went back up to the 400s. I was...
This is where I get confused. If I get a lower number I think I need to lower the dose so it doesn’t go too low, but I’m guessing that when the...
I will reread the dosing methods. Even though Lenny has been on insulin for two years I’m still not comfortable with this whole process☹️. I will...
i lowered the dose because I panicked because the 90 was lower than my other numbers. I’m always so afraid the number will drop too low.
