Good to hear that he likes the raw food. I think if you don't see blue tonight that you should take the dose up to 3.75. @tiffmaxee Do you agree?
if its that i can get a new insulin we have prescription available at the drug store but the bottle is half full.
Next time get a pen as they last to the last drop. You still use syringes with the pen. Less than 6 months it should be good though. All I can think of is the reductions you were taking by doing .50 instead of .25 led to glucose toxicity or he’s dropping later than tested at night and bouncing. My vials lasted 5-6 months and I had to throw out half a bottle. My pens I used to the last drop.
i asked the vet and that is what she prescribed we used to get pens from another vet. I'm not sure about throwing out 100 dollars my mom will rather pay to put him down.
It’s hard to know unless there are particles seen or cloudy. If not it loses efficacy around 5-6 months. Some get a longer time. Do you shoot insulin back into the vial? Is it kept in the fridge?
yes, its in the fridge. i try to not get bubbles in the syringe but i do not take the needle from the bottle.
If you are shooting back insulin into the bottle it will shorten the life of the insulin. Better to draw up a little extra and try and get the bubbles out after you take the syringe out of tge vial. Tge syringe has a lubricant that can effect the insulin
Read the part on proper handling. https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/thr...info-proper-handling-drawing-fine-dosing.151/
ill do that. that could be it. ill ask to get a new bottle however he got the overdose with the same bottle.
my mom is just cold blooded. she just dont want to keep that cat or us struggling this is how i use it. the other video does it differently
@tiffmaxee thank you for helping me i have been down. i also found out the rescue my dad helps monthly $$$ they practice abortions on pregant cats. i thought they were into saving cats. He cutting his funding. I'm very sad about it and about macho not getting blue or green. im going to check him now and tell you his number.
You never roll lantus or inject back into the bottle. She’s showing a different insulin. That will make your insulin last a shorter time. We might have solved your problem.
No. Do not put air in the bottle. First prime the syringe before you out it into the vial. Then insert it into the vial and draw up a little more than you need. Pull out the syringe from the bottle. Then flick the bubbles to the top of the syringe. Then try to remove the bubbles. I often did not get all the tiny bubbles out. I did the best I could. Get rid of any extra. Don’t inject more than the desired amount, especially since you are increasing by .50. Better a little less if there’s a bubble it won’t hurt him
You draw the insulin a little differently if you use a vial vs a pen. I have not done this in 5 years. Go by whatever Marje says as far as air. I did pens mostly.
318. if it doesnt come down. i will email the vet to see if he can get me a new prescription for the pen.
You could try switching to Semglee. It is also insulin glargine and will need a prescription from your vet but is much cheaper than Lantus. https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/semglee-lantus-biosimilar-fda-approval.250627/ Or you can buy Lantus from Canada where it is much cheaper: https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/buying-insulin-from-canada.203498/
good morning, Good to know it cost us 100 dollars. I'm going to call the vet today and let them know.
@Bandit's Mom @tiffmaxee after an argument with the vet we got the last prescription for lantus. He wants 400.00 only for fructosamine test. i found a vet far from us in queens ny he charge 75.00 so i guess we are taking him there. Lets hope this new Lantus pen works. Thank you Garcia
my dad is going to kill us. He paid 100 dollars for new lantus and Macho just got 167 with the old insulin. after all the insulin works. @Bandit's Mom @tiffmaxee
that is great. Hopefully by then he is regulated or reverse . I have hope. we are feeding him the best.
i always want to do a curve at night to see at what time he goes crazy. but after 1am i just start hallucinating.
Hi Al next time you need to order lantus https://www.goodrx.com/semglee Here is a coupon above Just call any pharmacy to see if they have the 5 pens, they will last you a year or more. I'm happy to see all those blues tonight Semglee, it is a generic Lantus, and was approved by the FDA last June. The cost is compatible with Lantus from Canada.
guys what was the name of the premade raw food brands ? i cant find the names i thought i wrote them down. @PerfumedCatMom @tiffmaxee @Bandit's Mom @Bron and Sheba (GA) @Chris & China (GA)
