Great job getting a test at home! 2u is a relatively high starting dose, unless Diego is overweight or a very large kitty - you may want to keep an...
Hi and welcome :) Something you have to keep in mind is that Kiki is your cat, not your vet's, and what you do (or don't do) in his treatment is...
Ingredients: My guesstimate from looking at the ingredients would be 8-14%. Keep in mind all the Friskies varieties have rice and are still around...
All of our literature on FDMB is written for human meters. 90% of us use them due to the high cost of pet meters. When we say below 50 is hypo, and...
Not necessarily true... Lantus is not FDA approved for use in cats (but there is nothing stopping us from doing it anyway), so all the instructions...
Good luck, hoping he pulls through again, DKA is hard. Really the best thing you can do after this is home test. At least 3 times a day with...
See that's the thing, regulating might be hard if his teeth are bugging him. Pain, infection, inflammation, etc. can all skew BG. You may find that...
Step back and take a few deep breaths... you are doing great! One thing at a time. Diabetes is like running a marathon, not a sprint... Prozinc...
First step... sit back and take a few deep breaths and RELAX a little! Diabetes isn't a death sentence, it's a highly manageable disease... think...
Hi and welcome :) You're doing great so far, slow down and breathe a bit... great job on learning how to home test, that is really the biggest...
Injecting into muscle may be your problem... some quick Google searches on it say that it can cause the insulin to wear off very fast... but I would...
Couple chunks of frozen food in different dishes. They can't be in two places at once (fortunately). :lol: And I hear ya on the jumping up on the...
Ah - it seems you have filled your spreadsheet out incorrectly. You have two rows for the same date. I can see the numbers bouncing a lot though....
Hi - can you please update your spreadsheet to show more recent numbers? Also, in the light blue "U" column is where you put the insulin dosage in...
How much does he weigh? My 12 pound cat can easily down 3 cans of FF a day. He'd probably eat like 10 if I let him. Just feed him more, or you...
3.75u is still a lot of insulin. You want to find a dose that you can shoot every 12/12 consistently. You will have to drop the dose down until you...
I pay $20 for a 40lb bag of Precious Cat! But it lasts long enough with 2 cats that it's not so bad. I found WBCL to be pretty crumbly - I tried...
Runny poo during the conversion from dry to wet is normal. You can try doing the change gradually so it is easier on the tummy, or just tough out...
I use Dr Elsey's Precious Cat. Can't stand the smell of wet corn/pine beddings (WBCL, Feline Pine, etc)
Just my 0.02c, my diabetic Scooter was on Wilderness kitten his whole life (previous owner's choice, not mine) and still developed diabetes. Even...
