Thanks everyone! Much appreciated!
Thinking of switching to Prozinc insulin and wondering where everyone gets it? I've seen it on Chewy for a good price, but I've heard bad things...
It's so confusing because with Novolin and all the other NPH type insulins everything says that you are supposed feed them 1 hour before shooting so...
Decided to shoot a half dose (1U) 1.5 hours late to try to keep him in these nice low numbers. He had a BG of 197 and rising. I'll be monitoring...
Yes I feed three hours before his AM shot at 5:30am (he's usually very hungry) then 30-45 mins before. Tested again now and got 137 so it's going up,...
We are using Novolin n which has been going pretty well, surprisingly. Emmett's nadir has been pretty consistently at +5 or +6, but for the last two...
I totally agree. Time to set some alarms :)
He jumped back up to 326 after stalling for an hour so I reduced to 2U and will monitor closely at +3 through +6.
This morning Emmett had his lowest AMPS of 166 which tells me that he probably got pretty low last night. I gave him food around 10:30pm to help keep...
Hi there! I'm pretty new here too, so I'll leave that advice on dosing and BG levels to the experts. My cat, Emmett, is on Novolin N and I'm working...
Thank you! This is super helpful. I realize Novolin n isn’t the insulin of choice for most people here but I feel comfortable keeping him on it as...
Totally being a pest but I have lots of questions :) Emmett has had lots of blues today. Would you consider that good as he seems to be more...
Yes I need to get some PM cycle numbers. I test at 9am and 9pm so most of that is while I’m snoozing but I agree those numbers would be really...
Hello! I'm pretty new here and just started testing the end of last week. On the advice of some of you, I lowered his dose to 2 units to see how he...
No worries - I'm trying to keep his shot times as consistent as I can. I'll be closely monitoring him today to see how this goes.
UPDATE: Just took his BG. It's 8:30am and he's not due for a shot till about 9am. He was at 198 so I 100% agree now that it's smartest to start over...
Thanks for the advice - I haven't yet done his morning pre-test BG but I'm already seeing the low carb food make a difference so I'll likely reduce...
Thank you so much for your encouragement! It's been a stressful few weeks. I'm excited to see some lower numbers for him today. I just want him to...
Just updated +1. He was looking for food and ate almost a full can of FF so I'm sure that affected the test I did immediately after.
makes sense - done!
