6/18 Jack: 233@amps, 167@+3--still at 10u but back to bio-similar

[Jack & Mopem'sMom]

Never increased, never went to the city, never did what I thought I would get to over the weekend. Then came the 5 day argument over renewing his insulin....needless to say we are BACK to the bio-similar (glargine-yfgn) Jack was showing some green, staying at 10u is really just a combo of laziness/lack of time to monitor/worry over changing back to the yfgn. Maybe Thursday for 10.5- tomorrow is a beast of a schedule, I won't be around most of the day

Hoping all kitties and humans are doing well...sending hugs to everyone

Hi Christine,
So sorry that things didn't go as planned! Hope Jack continues to respond nicely to the bio-similar.
Sending you

I know it's hard when you want to make changes but life gets in the way. I hope the switch back to the biosimilar works out - how frustrating to have to argue for insulin you want to use for Jack.

I hope the rest of the herd is doing well. Hugs to you and scritches to the furry ones.

I hope the insulin change doesn't affect Jack's progress. I didn't notice any difference when Purrl got a different brand, but the switch was also before she was well-regulated. The new Semglee vial we just got and haven't tapped yet, is the same as the last one.

It just really me off about the insulin. It's always about availability or price. I honestly don't see much difference in behavior or numbers between the regular glargine and the yfgn bio-similar, it's just annoying because the price varies and then there's the argument with the pharmacist/vet over needing 2 different prescriptions to accommodate availability/price. I'm so tired of everything being a fight to just properly care for cats. Glad to hear Purrl is well regulated. Hoping to catch up on the Board today. Thanks for stopping by.
