7/20 - Salem on phantom insulin ???

[Camille and Cyclone]

This morning I tested (202 - a little high for him), measured dose, fed the gang, wandered off - and almost three hours later saw the syringe lying on the counter, unused. Forgot to inject, oh no! (Actually more like "Oh *^&%%!!") So I did an am +3 just to see the damage - and he's at 78, JUST AS IF I HAD INJECTED HIS NORMAL DOSE. (Which is .25 now.) Weird, huh? And this isn't the first time - about a month ago I did the same thing but assumed I must have absent-mindedly injected and then recapped and laid the syringe back on the counter when he tested just like a normal cycle. This time I looked at the syringe and squeezed it out before dumping it, and definitely the insulin was still in it.

So...

a) I'm losing it lately, but that's another topic.

b) Has anyone ever heard of something like this before? Maybe I should just draw a dose and wave the syringe at him from now on? :lol:

Looks like you may have a sputtering pancreas If bgs dropped on it's own, then your cat may have a very good chance of remission :smile:

Salem's been on insulin for 2 1/2 years and I assumed OTJ was almost impossible - but then I never thought he'd be on such a low dose either. I hope you're right!

pmps 146

The best ps he's had in a while - now I'm even more confused! :roll: Guess I'll do a small dose and see what happens. It's a guessing game! :?:

Talk about the placebo effect. . .
You may be onto something there :lol:

I have no explanation other than maybe Salem's pancreas is testing it's independence!
