Lando 12/11 AMPS 122; +2 102; +5 105; PMPS 118; +2 118; +5 104

Can you get a +5 today? It looks like it might be a good idea but you dint have many checks to see if nadir is lower.
 
Yes! I can get a +5 today and tonight. Will post it as i get them. Just tomorrow sat i would like not to up a dose since i will be gone all day and cant helicopter him ;)

Cool! Btw just so it makes sense to me, the purpose of the later testing will tell us whether his pancreas is working or whether its just insulin right? And if its just insulin, then remission is unlikely. Do i have it right? Or wacky logic ;)
 
The purpose of the later test is to see how low this dose is taking him. Most cats nadir between +5-7. Dosing is based upon how low a dose takes him. The purpose of checking at +3-4 is to see if he comes down after eating. If lower than the amps/pmps it is possible the pancreas is bring down the bg but it still could be the insulin. Sometimes when on this low a dose a snack at +9 will bring down the amps/pmps so that’s another thing to try. If you look at Comet’s otj trial you will see that feeding the +9 small snack is helping.

How is Lando today?

Thanks for checkin in Suzanne! From just a watching him standpoint, he seems really really good. His appetite is solid, his numbers are decent and litter box is back to his “new normal of the last few months”. He seems to be exhibiting polyuria, but since his numbers look good, im assuming there is something else going on which i will likely bring him in soon. He is showing no signs of pain or discomfort, so im on a slow track with the visit.

My sweet Darcy passed away on June 26 of this year. I never had the heart and still don’t have the heart to write GA on my signature. That’s just me. But yes, he had acromegaly and developed kidney failure as well. I’ve had quite a few cats with CKD now unfortunately. Some lived quite a while with it, with help from sub-q fluids and other things to help manage the disease.
 
Im so sorry for your loss and apologies if you mentioned this to me before ( i think you did). Thanks for sharing his story <3 my two other cats have kidney disease ( one at 2 and one at 4) i hoped Lando would not make a full house. But carrying on! Hugs to you and thinking of M Darcy
