It's been 15 days that Bailey's BG has been in Green & Blue! I wonder how long you need to wait before you can try without insulin? I can't remember if I ever read what they advise?
I'm not sure if the BG needs to be only Green ? ( I'd be going crazy thinking about remission!) I can't seem to get Ravan to stop getting the High numbers.:arghh:

Hope your Thanksgiving is Wonderful ! :):bighug:
 
I cam e across this info on The Think Tank forum. Might be good to know especially when advising New people

Zzero insulin is never called for in a new-diagnosed diabetic cat. Remember, their pancreas is suppressed from hyperglycemia and can't even produce that 30% at the moment.

Even worse, lack of insulin is the primary cause of DKA. And what are the secondary causes? Fasting, dehydration, and infection.

So no food + no insulin = asking for DKA.

Please all you happy advice givers, don't suggest waiting on the insulin just because kitty is reluctant to eat. On the contrary, that is likely to kill kitty. Suggest a slightly reduced dose. Biology doesn't work well on all-or-nothing solutions.
