Look at Donovan's spreadsheet sea-of-black-and-red when he was on Vetsulin for ~5 months. A few "HI" readings thrown in there for shock value too. Yeah, I still kick myself for trying so long to make that damn insulin work. Thankfully he didn't develop any ketones, and he was still able to heal once I switched to Levemir. I thought the damage might already be too severe, but.... he did it :mrgreen:
You can do it, Binks. A little more juice and some lower BGs, and you'll be feeling groovy again.
Donovan says "Hey" to a fellow mutant. He's half Scottish Fold.

Hi Celi,
It seems that Binks needs a little more insulin. Perhaps a 1.5u, but I wish you were giving him Lantus or Levemir or PZI, they are long lasting insulins. I don't know about Vetsulin, but many experienced folks here will give you better advice on that. You're doing so great testing him so often, and posting it on the ss. You can always start a new topic with the subject line "Any advice on Vetsulin" per example, so members will see that and write to you about your type of insulin. It could be that either Binks needs higher dosage, or the insulin is not a very effective one for cats. good Luck, and best of health to Binks.
