    There are tips to reach the honeymoon? Or to stay longer in to the honeymoon? Or to reach the remmission?
    My cat had 3 days of honeymoon, after that she turn into the same range of BG as before. Could I help him in this period?

    Thanks for advice,
    Mihaela

    Tips to stay OTJ

    1. never feed dry - not even treats. If you change wet food types, be 100% sure the new food is also low carb. Don't feed if you aren't sure!
    2. Weigh every 2 weeks to 1 month to watch for weight changes
    3. Measure blood once a week, indefinitely. You want to catch a relapse quickly.
    4. No steroids or oral meds with sugar - remind your vet whenever giving you any medication. Always double check.
    5. Monitor food intake, peeing and drinking
    6. Regular vet checks for infection such as dental , ear or UTI. And get them treated quick!

    If he does fall out of remission you need to be more aggressive and resolve issues/ back on insulin as soon as possible as the window for a second remission is tight if any. Come onto the health board asap.
