http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=110427#p1165114Good morning,

Thank you for the discussion on feeding diabetic cats. It is very helpful. I understand why Ole is obsessively hungry, I was looking for guidance on how to treat his symptom. Thank you for steering me to the discussion. Ole has never been overweight and currently weighs about 9 lbs, which is on the light side of his normal range. He weighed 11 lbs when he was diagnosed, and his lightest weight was 7'14" when he was diagnosed with P in November. Currently, his caloric intake is about 180 calories/day.

Today Ole is feeling well, took a stroll outside this brisk 24 degree morning. His spirits are high. He likes to play fetch, I use the game as a gauge to his well being. Last night he brought me his ball 4x, and this morning once. His evening play is always more active than his morning.

Thank you again and I hope everybody is surviving these last couple of frantic days before the holiday!

This morning was 1 unit, should I give him 1.5 units this evening, or wait until I have gone the full 6 cycles. My intention is to increase.

Thank you,
Rebekah

I'm glad Ole is feeling so well. I think once you get Ole in lower numbers his appy will get better. Do you have any low carb treats you give Ole when you test? Maybe you could give him a little bit of those in between meals to help with his hunger. I don't know about the dose. Hopefully someone more experienced will be on later.

You did right in increasing Ole. We don't want him staying in those high numbers too long, especially now that we have some more testing in to see what's really going on.

Now we just wait again for at least 4 doses at 1.5 and see how he does!!

Good luck with the dosecrease!!
