:( so sorry for the high values

We are currently going thru the same with our Chico, he started having higher BG since the beginning of June. We took him to the vet for a blood test and after for a dental. We started insulin pretty soon after the BG started raising and now he seems to be doing pretty well. Don’t get disappointed just yet, do some tests to see what is the cause :bighug::bighug:

Thank you. I will call them Tuesday and see if we can get some blood work. Unfortunately my vets not very knowledgeable with diabetes and the advice here is the only thing that got him in remission. He was prescribed a fast acting insulin and RX glucose food which is obscured now that I know how high in carb the RX glucose food is. I’m reaching out on Facebook in my city group to see if I can find a knowledgeable vet. I’m going to need dosing advice here though I have Levemir on hand and hoping that’s ok to keep using so I can save some expenses
 
None of the vets we saw with Chico are knowledgeable with FD, the ones that don’t pretend to be are the better ones, we got into one this time around who was trying to convince us cats don’t go into remission o_O duhh, tell that to us who didn’t have to give insulin to our cat for the past 9 moths meanwhile he was constantly under 5.5 :bookworm:

You need a vet for the other issues and definitely try a dental, we believe this is what helped Chico’s BG the most - we won’t know for sure but from everything we did this is the most probable cause.

good luck, be patient and don’t lose hope :bighug:
 
Steve - today is 7/3 (not 7/2)

It looks like Oreo's stuck in higher numbers. Like folks suggested yesterday, I would suggest a vet visit to rule out anything medical or dental. A 14yo kitty that's never had a dental is rare and dental issues are the most common cause for throwing a cat out of remission. In response to your question, unless the vet has a specific concern, a senior blood panel would be the place to start.

Oh I see what you’re saying I kind of misunderstood the whole teeth thing I was like why are we checking the teeth OK so now I understand. But I’m half asleep reading some of this lol. I’ll get a senior panel done. I’m kind of anxious about starting him on insulin again back sooner than later but I figure I shouldn’t interfere with whatever tests the veterinarian may offer
 
Are you getting a Libre? I see it on your ss. Depending on when you get the vet appointment you might want to get some ur8be test strips and see if there’s sugar in his urine. That’s how I diagnosed Max.

I have some for personal use and Levimir. I may have the vet put the libre on when I visit. Although he seems to mess them up and a weeks time and they stop working. Oreo had the PU surgery squats when he pees and is super skittish in the litter box he will run off and pee along the way. I’ll have the vet check him. Wish I could start dosing home now I’m just anxious
