We are about a half a year in to our diagnosis and I am starting to get really concerned with the doses are vet is telling us to give. We go to the vet monthly to get a test of his blood sugar, which I know can be high due to stress, but then the vet also does a fructosamine test that is supposed to give an indication of his levels over time. We just heard back from out vet and she said his fructosamine was still over 500. Know she wants us to go up to 10 units a day. It seemed crazy to me when we passed 6 units a day and know this is really starting to scare me. Every time we do increase the dose we do monitor him and he doesn't appear to be sleepy or unresponsive.
A little info on our cat.
Name: Fat Albert
Age: Roughly 8 years old
Weight: 15lbs
Diet: Low Carb Wet food twice daily. Open dry food during the day.
We have tried testing him at home, but it is almost impossible. We will keep trying but in the interim I am not certain how regularly we can check his levels. What should we do? Starting to feel very overwhelmed.
