JuJu is doing really well. Since we're not currently giving insulin, we have cut JuJu's feeding down to 6 (was 8) times a day. He's getting:
PS 3oz
+4 1oz
+8 1oz

So, he's still getting 10oz per day but the schedule is a bit easier on Ava and I.

Whatever you are doing is working. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :smile: I hope Ava's back is getting better. Have a great week.
 
Re: 11/17 JuJu AMBG 88

Ty, Elise. Ava is still having trouble with her back. I think we're going to get her some X rays or a MRI. The adjustments didn't help much.

what you're doing is working - keep it up! :mrgreen:

Juju may have the very shortest time on FDMB of any cat I've seen . . . :-D

We think it's time for you to start counting those days before as part of JuJu's OTJ TRIAL!!!!!

Ignore the first line of the instructions; I'm just leaving them in there so if anyone copies them for future use, they have the full instructions. JuJu is already on Day Four of his trial. I am only counting since 11/14 since his numbers were a little high before then. This gives us just a few more days for the trial so we can make sure he continues to do super well. YAY!!

Start the trial on the next green pre shot.

If he/she is green at your normal test times, no need to test further until the next "PS" time; just feed small meals and go about your day. If he/she is blue at your normal "PS", feed a small meal and test again after about 3 or 4 hours. If his/her number is lower 3-4 hours after a meal, then the pancreas is working!

Post every day so we can monitor your progress and see if any tweaks are needed. He/she may have a sporadic blue number. Don't panic but post before you decide whether to shoot so we can have a discussion.

After 14 days of no insulin, we have a party!!

Sometimes the trial doesn't work the first time and we have to give a little more support in the form of resuming insulin. It's not the end of the world if that happens; we just give him/her the support needed. Our goal is a strong remission and it's better to take our time to get that than to rush into remission just to have it fail later on.

Good luck with the trial!!!

Once he/she is through the trial successfully, you enter a new phase. Your cat is still diabetic but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low carb food in the manner successful for your kitty. If you decide to change his/her feeding schedule, let your meter be your guide to the best times to feed. Avoid medications with sugar in them and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood glucose weekly for the first month and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh him/her monthly. Weight should remain stable. If he/she seems "off" or sick, or is showing signs of diabetes (excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss), test his/her blood glucose right away. Keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission. If you see rising blood glucose numbers, it's time for a visit to the vet!

Congratulations and don't forget tomorrow to add "OTJ Trial DAY 5" to his subject line!!!
