I am delighted by Oliver's AMBG. I gave him his prednisolone late yesterday and he ate about 45 minutes before his test this morning. I was afraid his reading would be high.

Linda, i just want to make sure you have the post-OTJ party directions, so am going to post them again here for you.

If he gets through the trial successfully, you enter a new phase. Your cat is still diabetic, but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low-carb food and small meals for the rest of his life. Avoid medications with sugar in them and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood sugar weekly for the next few months and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh him monthly. His weight should remain stable. If he seems "off" or sick, or is showing symptoms of diabetes (excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss) test his blood sugar right away. Keep the teeth clean; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission.

If you see rising blood sugar numbers, post here before you restart insulin and ask for advice on how to proceed.
 
Julie, thanks for the information. I know I will continue testing Oliver - probably daily for a while. And I weigh him a couple of times a week because I have been wanting him to gain a little. Again, thanks for all your help.

I am going on a 2-week vacation in a few days. My sister is cat and house sitting, but she refused to consider doing testing or insulin injections. I thought I was going to have to take Oliver with me. He has gone with me to the beach before, but it is a 4 1/2 hour drive and that is stressful for both of us. Fortunately, he got off the juice just in time to be able to stay home with his Aunt Janice.
