Here's an update on Buca today... he's aaaalll over the place lol. Hard to find the nadir. It was probably somewhere around +3 or 4?
 
Heather:

What would you think about starting an OTJ trial with Buca tonight :-D :-D :-D :-D We think he's ready.

Here are the instructions:
  • Test at your normal AMPS and PMPS times. Feed multiple small meals throughout the day as much as possible (small meals are less likely to overwhelm a newly functioning pancreas).
  • If he 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 is blue, feed a small meal and test again after about 3 hours. If his number is lower 3-4 hours after a meal, then his pancreas is working!
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 the support he needs. 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.

Congratulations and good luck!! We'll all be watching!!!
 
Really? Great! Yes we will try and see what happens... he was 57 pmps and +1/46 already... so I think it's worth a try.

We'll keep an eye on things and keep you posted on how it goes :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
WOOT! WOOT! Way to go Buca and Heather! Fantastic news. Best of luck on the trial!!

This'll be a great spreadsheet to take to your vet. Maybe you can convert them to Lantus and help other kitties in your area.
