Terri Lynn & Jake

Member Since 2015
My name is Terri Lynn. I have a vet estimated 5 or 6 year old diabetic kitty his name is Jake. He was diagnosed on March 28th of this year. He was started on Novolin and I swiched to Lantus on May 10th of this year. Not sure what other information I need to post here but I guess I will learn as I go along. Not really familiar with message boards.
 
Hello Terri welcome My name is Julia and my cat is Magellan. Magellan also started on Novalin and is now on Lantus, what are you feeding him, are you home testing his sugars? Your in very good company here and I am glad to meet you, welcome to the board. The best place you would never want to be in. :) :bighug:
 
Hello Julia. Sorry I took so long to respond. I could not find my post after I put it in lol. I just checked my email and saw you posted. I only feed Jake Fancy Feast Classic(Tender Beef his favorite) Tried Friskies classic pate but he hates them all. I do home testing. Only reason I am still up lol. I try to do every 3 hours but he was low for Jake today so I am being extra cautious. Thank you so much for the welcome. I look forward to learning what I can and keeping my baby healthy.
 
Trust me I understand late nights.. All of us do, and it is an honor to welcome you to the sugar dance. I notice that you have not stared a spreed sheet on Jake , it is a good tool to help you see patterns and to help us give advise. It would also be helpful if you added information to your signature area as you see in mine.

Hugs, breath you are doing this right, this is frosting right now to your diving kitty. You and Jake will get through this together so breath and give your fur baby some cuddles your both probably needing it.
 
I would just to make sure you want at lest 2 tests that show he is rising before you go to bed that is my advise
 
Welcome to FDMB.

We have 2 protocols for using Lantus
Tight Regulation
Start Low, Go Slow

With the testing you are doing, the Tight Regulation one should be a cinch for you.
Note that since Jake goes below 50 mg/dL, if using a human glucometer, he has earned a 0.25 unit decrease. If you are using a pen injector, you'// need to pick up some uU-100 syringes. Otherwise, just eyeball between 0.5 and 1.0 units to give 0.75 units. We also have instructions for using calipers.
