Hi Folks:
Well I nearly lost Scooter last week. On lantus we could not steady his numbers and the diarrhea was hard on him. We (his Vet and I) switched him to humlin N and we have been able to steady his numbers and his appetite is back. I am aware that folks here recommend Lantus or levemir for good reasons. I am choosing to keep Scooter on the humilin N for his sake.
Also I was using the accuchek monitor and switched to relion prime because of cost. I also like that it takes less blood to read. Scooter likes that to. Most days it is one poke and done now. I am reading him more often but so far the humilin is lasting about 9 hours. He only needed to have 1 unit or .5 unit to keep him stable. So my charting will be different.
I also spoke with my pharmacist who said that most of his customers have their cats on humilin N or R. I wonder if there are others who could make suggestions for me. Scooter has been on it for 7 days now.
