I noticed your comment on the SS about bad breath. How are Ti-Mousse’s teeth? Bad teeth can really play havoc with blood sugar numbers.

Down please Ti-Mousse.
 
I'm glad you're there! I keep looking at everybody's spreadsheets, all colorful; mine only black and red since the beginning!! Today I looked at the whole picture: why isn't he going down at all?? I searched on the net and saw that dental problems could be an issue and maybe explain why he doesn't seem to respond to insulin; he's only 5 yo and was treated with AB twice in the past years for infections which kept coming back. I took him to the vet in November for xrays and dental surgery to fix the problem once and for all; it's then she told me he was diabetes and she couldn't do any dental work until he was regulated!!! That's a vicious circle ! How can he be under control if he has dental problems and probably infections?
Many are saying how touchy it is to get dental work done on diabetes cats; but if the BG is staying up because of it, it's not better. When I see his numbers, I know something has to be done quickly, and I have to find the solution for my minou to be healthy again :)
 
We often see vets say they can’t do a dental until the diabetes is controlled, which won’t happen without the dental. :banghead: Neko had her first dental bynher regular vet when she was still a fan of red. If your vet isn’t comfortable with the dental, inquire if there is a dental specialist vet nearby. That’s what I did for subsequent dentals, when Neko got a bit more complicated. Typically dental vets have more staff helping with monitoring. And are used to dealing with older cats or ones with other conditions.
