Good morning to you & Fistuk! Looks like our two kitties are similar... though I'm only suspecting Leo is experiencing constipation. The higher BG after insulin, too. I'm hoping Leo behaves later as I han an appointment and will be unavailable for two hours. DH has only tested Leo once in two years so I'm it. DH has short-term memory issues so no way can I count on him to remember the 'art' of getting Leo's BG. Just as long as he makes sure Leo gets his 'Last Chance' food prior to putting away the kitty bowls two hrs before PMPS. I'll leave notes and texts about that.

How did you realize the constipation issue for Fistuk?

I hear you Joni. It's tough when you're the sole care giver. I was the only one for the good 5 months of this journey but DH learnt ho to measure BG and since he's been quite good with it so it's a huge help.

I started with the AnimalBiome process to resort Fistuk's gut so he has less constipation. It's been quite a long process but it's going in the right direction.
If he goes two day without poopy I give him half Miralax and it sends him straight to the box. Normally he'll need another day after Miralax to get regular again. I'm happy I did't need to use it for some time now.

You can try add unpasteurised cow of goat milk to any fermented food such as kefir to help with constipation.
I also add fibre to Fistuk's food. I tried and tested and realised that 1/8tsp of psyllium husk twice a day it the swit spot for him. It's good to try.

many folks here give cooked pumpkin for constipation (without any spices or stuff). I tried that once but didn't like the result. Psyllium works better for Fistuk.

dealing with either constiptaton or diarrhoea is a pain but with patience and trail and error you'll eventually find the right thing for Leo :bighug::bighug::bighug:
