Hello! I've been a bit out of here, with being out of strips (not much to report when you can't measure anything) and back at work.

I finally got strips (everything I ordered arrived in the space of two days, so I'm stocked up!) and even my own glucometer. Yay! (have posted AT/strip/code question in Feline Health forum)

Quintus seems to be doing great. The few tests I've done since I got the strips are nice and normal. It's soon going to be two weeks since he got his last shot of insulin!

I went to the vet on Wednesday to check in and figure out what to do/not do. We decided it wasn't worth continuing Convenia or changing anything. I did ask for labs to see where his pancreatitis and kidneys were at (last kidney values were good but he was drinking like a fish; last pancreas values were through the roof, pre- and upon diabetes diagnosis).

There is one thing I am concerned about, and that is a kind of digestive (?) spasm he does when he's resting. I've posted about it on the Feline Health forum, if anybody wants to have a look and chime in. (Kind of out of ideas.)

Have added a phew more photos and videos to Quintus's photo album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7vCSM7NcMALUEYom2

Nice numbers for Quintus
Glad he is doing well.

Sending vines for good BW results.

Thanks for your kind and encouraging messages! Quintus is actually doing better than me. It seems I got giardiasis in India possibly as far back as 2015 (or worse?) -- first round of treatment gave me 10 days of "omg I haven't felt as good as this in years!", but the bugs hid somewhere and are back, so I'm on my second round of anti-parasite antibiotics. Quintus has it easy!

That is no fun at all! I hope round 2 sorts it out!

Keep up the good work, Quintus.
