Hello all,
My cat has been diagnosed since may 2020 until now his numbers are not good. As per a VET my cat always was on very high number. I have started to do home testing as he got hypo event.

Please see Misiau's glucose curve may you can help me with the dose the numbers is not going down

I'm curious why you lowered the dose from.2.5 to 1.5 since he had high numbers? If anything it looks like he needed an increase from the 2.5 to 2.75 but instead you went down in dose. Any chance you can try to get a reading 4-6 hours after the shot? I want to see how low it's going mid day.

Hi JanetNJ,

Thank you for texting me.

I did because it was better numbers with 2 U, when I increased to 2.25 U and after 2.5 U the numbers started to raise up then I thought I need to reduce. Now I am feeling absolutely lost and I see my cat looks not really active today.

Ok. If it were my cat I would do 2.75, BUT always get a preshot test, and try very hard to get a +4 or 5 either during the day or in the evening.
 
  • It would be helpful if you can set up your signature so members won't ask you the same questions over again. Look at mine its after every post in grey writing

  • On the left, under Settings, Click on Signature. This is where you will put information that helps us give you feedback.
    • There is a limit of two lines which may include two links; you may separate pieces with commas, dashes, | etc. This is where you paste the link for your spreadsheet, once it is set up.
    • Add any other text, such as
    • Caregiver & kitty's name (optional)
    • DX: Date
    • Name of Insulin
    • Name of your meter

Thank you. I will inject this evening 2.75 U. I have decided to do home testing every day (also to get a nadir number +4 or +5). Misius was for 3 months on 5U until I noticed one evening he became lethargic. His BG was 2.4 mmol-hypo.
Is it possible that Misiaus is bouncing with his numbers?

I can't answer that without having more mid day numbers. We will figure it out. :).
 
You may also want to consider switching insulins if caninsulin is not working well. It’s typically prescribed for dogs or canines hence the name. A longer lasting gentler insulin like Lantus or prozync may work better for Misiaus
I have noticed that caninsulin is not working well. I have to contact a VET. I do not want to be negative but current Misiau's VET is useless. Thank you for your comment :)

Hi Indre, one little change to your signature and it will be perfect! Edit your signature the same way you used to set it up:

- Delete the part that starts with c'c spreadsheet all the way to the end, and insert the link to your spreadsheet at the end of your signature. Oh, and don't forget to save the change!

(Here's the link to your spreadsheet from your first post so it's handy for you to copy and paste to your signature)
