Good day!

I liked the numbers better yesterday. Hadn't seen anything in the 130's for a while so that was nice.

I completed Morgaine's Profile and added some pictures. Link is in my signature.

Barely yellow AMPS ! That sure was one nice string-o-numbers yesterday. . . :-D
I'll have to wait until I'm home to see Morgaines profile & pics (dagnabit)!

In answer to your questions from yesterday:
I have never heard of IAA but will look that up.

IAA stands for Insulin Auto Antibodies, which causes extreme insulin resistance. BK was becoming a big gulper so first we tested for Acro, then Cushings, then IAA and bingo - 84%, which is very high. That was the reason. Not much out there about treating it.
So, were you using Regular insulin and how did that work in BK? Is R commonly used for kitties with high, stubborn numbers or just for certain conditions like IAA? How about humalog?

Yes, we used quite a bit of R for BK - he probably would not have survived without it. Kitties with Acro or Cushings or IAA use R. I don't know about Humalog.
I always wonder if any studies have been done on cats and fast acting insulins to bring really high numbers down. I would think the kitty would need very close observation and possibly hospitalization.

I'm not sure if any studies have been done. I am very sure that it should be used in only the toughest circumstances and extremely sparingly. It requires very close monitoring; it's dangerously powerful. Since BK is my office cat, I was able to keep a very close eye on him during the day. DBF is a nightowl, so he could keep an eye on BKs PM cycles.

(I think I got the link to his ss fixed. . .)

Morgaine thanks you all for the lovely compliments. She KNOWS she is a pretty girl cuz I tell her that all of the time. cat_pet_icon

Diva personality doesn't begin to describe my girl but she is also very sweet and loving to me and is so tolerant of the new routine that I am almost in disbelief.

I just looked at BK's SS. WOW! BK was taking more Lantus than I ever took in a day and all that R as well, way back when. I do not know how you managed to do all that but I am so glad you stuck to it and had yourself a wonderful result. This has to be one of the more inspiring stories to come along and makes me very, very hopeful that Morgaine will heal and have great success as we move forward. I am so glad BK is doing well. Good for you!!!
