Re: 4/3 Ann & Maggie11 AMPS=135

I can relate to the statement made about vets changing doses... happened to Mannie when he was first diagnosed. went from 2 units to 4, up and down - whoa! and a long story. i wish I had known about this board then. I would like to believe things would have been different then we wouldn't had gone through some serious hypo events, etc. well, we are here now, and doing much better.
Now if I can just get past the gone too long part... happy easter to you and Maggie!

Hi Michelle and Mannie,
I wanted to respond to your reply to me on yesterday's condo.
I was looking at Mannie's history, and I can see you and Mannie have been thru a lot with the dose hopping with your Vet. I went thru the same with my Vet. I'm so glad we both found this forum. It's hard to believe how the Vets have us shoot blind with our diabetic cats, and some don't even offer home testing as a choice to us. Surely they must realize that humans would never just give themselves insulin without testing. I hope you and Mannie have a nice Easter weekend.

Morning Ann...Maggie is looking good!
My vet had Shadow on 4 units of Vetsulin and Raja was prescribed 3 units!!! I gave that to the two of them religiously ...Raja was hiding and acting strange. The 5th morning she vomited all over the place....I stopped her insulin. I was to go back to the vet once a week to test BGs....
I thankfully found this forum and learned to home test. Raja was started out on .6u Vetsulin according to her numbers!!! Can you imagine what the full 3 units was doing to her? And I was oblivious to it since I didn't home test in the beginning. Strange to think of shooting blindly now, isn't it?

Hi Pat,
Oh my gosh, 3 Units!! Our poor kitties, huh! It seems a lot of us have had the same experiences with the way Vets are taught to treat sugar kitties. I just was talking to an employee at PetsMart, and her cat is on Vetsulin and has been diabetic for two years. She didn't know she could be home testing, so I gave her some information about it, and she's going to ask her Vet about it. I'll check back with her next week.

Oh gosh, I just thought I'd give Maggie a little HC mixed in with her LC for Easter, and I think it caused the spike to 174. That will teach me! Just that little bit, too!
