I agree with Bhooma, it is worth it and will pay off! I was fortunate to be on my winter break through the worst of it, now with uni work piling up I’d be a wreck. Bonus of tonsillitis on top :confused: good luck for your seminar! Cat naps to the rescue :bighug:
 
So here is the hard question... I can see that it totally paid off with Simba. But to be honest given Hercs age, time he was likely to have had undiagnosed diabetes, and time on insuilin (>6 months), is remission really a possibility? I have very little hope. If remission is not a possibility, is it really worth it? I do wonder if it isn't better to keep him at a dose where he is mostly in blues and yellow, so I am not poking him every hors and tittering into a hypo?
 
I think Simba's a bit of an exception in terms of how quickly he responded to insulin + diet change... If I remember correctly the highest chance for remission was in cats that had been treated with insulin for less than a year? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But then again, look at @Diane Tyler's Mom 's SS where Tyler reached remission just a few days ago after more than a year on insulin. There's lots of other kitties spreadsheets that look like they're headed into remission too. The contrast for Hercs SS prior to Lantus and on Lantus is visible as well. He's only one one unit at the moment, too. All I'm trying to say is that I think remission is a real possibility for Hercules and I hope it comes true for him. :bighug:
 
Hi Karen, Tyler went into remission on 1-24-21 after 2 years and 4 months
I never thought he would but with the advice of everyone here to be patient
I kept plugging away, I did have to increase him plenty of times and the bam he started doing very good and I had to keep decreasing his dose.
You are early in the game and I think Hercules will have a chance for remission.
Just hang in there :bighug::bighug::cat:
