Chloe has a vet appointment on Friday, and I want make sure I'm prepared with good questions.
Chloe is currently on Vetsulin and is not responding to it (dosage history here in my intro post). We will be discussing switching to Lantus. I only JUST started home testing, but all her numbers are pretty high (usually >500), as were her recent vet tests. I am wondering what I should expect in terms of a starting dose for switching to Lantus?
I am also going to ask about switching her food to FF since the DM Savory Selects are too high in carbs (and she doesn't like the pate). I know that switching foods in addition to switching insulins could cause some very different numbers. In your experience, what advice should I expect to receive about making these changes safely and smartly?
Thank you!
Also, I know I am missing her AMPS for this morning. I could *not* get her to settle long enough to get a draw.
