Hi,
Just want to introduce myself. I am Shelly and I just founmd out that my cat Feeburt is Diabetic. I guess one of the most important things to know is that I lost a diabetic last march. I kept him healthy and strong for 4 years with the help of this board. I was a PZI user but this time my vet wants us to start on Lantus. So...I guess you could say that I have been down this road before but this time I am driving a new car. I'm going to need some help.
She recommended that we start with 2U 2x/d. Sorry. I forgot some of the formatting of the dosage shortcuts. I will pick it up again soon. He was 410 in the vet according to the blood panel and 359 at home. He does have a slight infection and will be taking baytril as well. he is spilling glucose into his urine. MAybe we will be OTJ (see...I do remember a little of the jargin) with a little time and infection control. I am doing to go pick up the insulin today after work and get started. Any advise on the pre filled pens vs drawing in myself?
I am a tester. I actually diagnosed him before taking him in. I never got around to donating Cosmo's supplies to the supply closet. Funny how things like that work out.
So I am a little down and depressed but at least I know the beast I am fighting...rather intimately.
Thanks,
Shelly
