....and I am just so frustrated. Apologies to start if I haven't given updates on Neko recently. Here's a short summary of what's happened so far with Neko:
I have a vet appointment on Monday and I might ask to switch us back to Lantus...hopefully it'll help sustain Neko's lower numbers until meal time.
Sorry this is rather vent-y...it's been a stressful month and a half what with all the vet fees and the seeming lack of progress.
Any insight or comments would be welcome. Also if any members are currently in Singapore, low carb food recommendations would be appreciated
I've been running through common canned foods using the Scheyder carb calculator, but am finding there aren't a lot of options.
Oh and here's a photo of the old man (he's 16!) by the way for any curious soul out there
- Diagnosed first week of March
- Started on 1U Lantus - but vet took him off it after 2 days because Neko is very sensitive to insulin and the lows were a little too close for comfort. Instead of adjusting dosage we swapped to 0.75 /0.5u Vetsulin because it's short acting effect would be easier to manage (I'm having difficulty accepting this now)
- Neko has been on a canned only diet..alternating between Ziwipeak and Wellness. There were a few days where my local store's stocks ran low so we had to switch to Addiction for a little bit. But the last few days he's back on Ziwipeak and Wellness.
- First few weeks looked good with no reds (see spreadsheet here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lJ0OmJJMPvw6P2zZM5bYtAnbDQC9H1zH4pNVizb3bmU/edit?usp=sharing) and even a few healthy looking numbers (March 22, 23 and 29).
- Last few days he's been seeing a lot more reds....
