Haha, believe me there was hesitation! My title used to be something else but I edited it LOL. I just know that if I want to see those numbers WITHOUT insulin one day I need to be brave for her. It's nerve-wracking though!!

I've noticed her face isn't so gaunt anymore. She always had a full face with chubby cheeks, but it got so skinny. I wonder if that was a sign she wasn't absorbing nutrients well.
 
Thanks everyone, Snits is doing great!! Her neuropathy is especially noticeable when she's rushing to get her food. Is the methyl b12 worth it? I've seen people say it's a miracle and others say they saw improvement in six months with or without it. I guess every cat is going to be different! I'll end up ordering some soon. On the plus side, she's actually jumping - from a short height - up on things now. Hasn't done that for awhile. Is neuropathy particularly painful or is it just weakness? Hers doesn't seem painful if she's going out of her way to do things that aren't really necessary.
 
Great job shooting Steph
I used to give Tyler
https://www.vitacost.com/vitacost-vitamin-b-12-methylcobalamin-5000-mcg-60-capsules-5
the Vitacost brand another member told me about
Vitamin B-12 Methylcobalamin -- 5000 mcg - 100 Capsules

Same as Zobaline , but the Zobaline is so expensive as you know
This is the same thing
The only difference is the Zobaline has 200 mcgs of folic acid
So I bought the folic acid at the supermarket and crush it up and added it to the Vitacost brand
If you can't find the 200 mcg get the 400 mcg and cut it in half and crush it up and add it, some members didn't even add the folic acid and the neuropathy improved
The Vitacost brand is a capsule so just open it and pour the powder on the wet food
Has no taste, no need to crush it up, I still give it to Tyler every now and then and he has never tasted it in his food , I always add water to his food and just stir up the methyl B-12 good
I switched to the vitacost brand because the zobaline was too expensive,
Even though the vitacost brand is 5000 mcgs and the zobaline is 3000 mcgs
What they don't need they will pee out because it's water soluble.

It took about 2 months for Tyler to get back to walking normal, jumping on to the couch, running around
But every few weeks I did seea slight improvement

Some members didn't even add the folic acid to the vitacost brand and it still worked
@Snits
 
Omg ok I did it. Lantus has an onset of 2 hrs right? So, I think Snits is VERY carb sensitive. At fasting she's in the green a lot but after meals she's in the blue. Don't see a lot of wave riding so far with this girl.

It can vary a bit by cat. Typical is +2-+3, but I've seen earlier and Neko was later. You might want to get a +1. We suggest a +1 and a +2 when you shoot your lowest yet, to give you a heads up on needing to give extra carbs, or not.

Paws crossed for nice flat green tonight.

Thanks! Yes, planning on it! She gets fed about every 3 hours (but lately will eat whenever) so if anything happens she should be game to eat.
