Hello, I'm new here and please excuse my poor English.
My cat is diagnosed diabetes end of January 2019. He's been on Budesonide due to IBD for over 4 years.
The vet said some cat gets diabetic on Budesonide long term use and that's my cat case.
Anyway, I started giving him prozinc 2U x 2 since then and first 2month looks okay, not great but at least I saw some 200's nadir number dropping from 300s. But 3weeks ago, when I made a BG curve I found his curve was totally flat around 300's.
I talked to a vet and she told me dosage up from 2u to 3u. But according to this message board, I chose to up from 2u to 2.25 for 3days and got still flat and then 2.5u and still curve is flat... looks like prozinc is effectless and I got a new prozinc bottle 2 days ago and that night the number's jumped up 400's.
I called the vet again for advice and then she said give him 3u. Last night and this morning I gave him 3u and
the curve today so far is totally FLAT again. I don't know what to do. My cat's insulin resistance might be connecting Budesonide? I don't know.
I'm attaching my cat's spreadsheet. I've been hometesting for these 2 month and keep all BG numbers on a notebook until I found a better one. So attaching spreadsheet here is only those 2 weeks' record. I will add later for old records.

I desperately need a help from all experienced diabetic cat owner! Thank you in advance!!
