Here are some tips for helping Lucky stay OTJ.

Tips to stay OTJ

1. Never feed dry - not even treats. If you change wet food types, be 100% sure the new food is also low carb and same low carb % as your current food. Some cats are very carb sensitive and an increase from 3-6% to 8-10% can spike the BG’s. Don’t feed if you aren’t sure!
2. Weigh every 2 weeks to 1 month to watch for weight changes. Too much of a weight gain can cause loss of remission.
3. Measure blood once a week, indefinitely. You want to catch a relapse quickly. Some people only do checks every 2 weeks to a month.
4. No steroids or oral meds with sugar - remind your vet whenever giving you any medication. Always double check.
5. Monitor food intake, peeing and drinking. If increasing, a sign of losing remission.
6. Regular vet checks for infection such as dental , ear or UTI. And get them treated quick!

If he does fall out of remission you need to be more aggressive and resolve issues/ back on insulin as soon as possible as the window for a second remission is tight if any.

You may suffer from CTWS, Caregiver, Testing Withdrawal Syndrome. :o :shock: :o It can be difficult to stop testing as frequently as you do now. Taper off gradually to your comfort level, is my best advice. I'm down to once a week for Wink, and plan to do that long term. That open bottle of test strips won't last forever, so I'm trying to use them up.
 
Well I will keep an eye on him, keep same regiment as I have been doing, i will try to get him over to vet to be weight there kinda nasty about it, can't afford to take him for a check up just cost to much for just a walk in there
$50 to be seen. So Lucky better stay safe I will hang on tho his vial of Lantus, hope it last awhile it's always been in the frig. Will just cross paws and I will still be checking him for awhile at least once a day for the next week, he does come to me if he is low so this is good. Thanks Deb I may contact you
Thanks to everyone for all the help we will come by and check in and say hi
