Boo OTJ???

[aghboo]

Hello,
Here is my updated spreadsheet for Boo.I think based on his numbers he is OTJ. He seems to be acting fine and eating well but still seems to be hungry after eating 2 cans FF pate twice a day. He is to go to the vet next weekend and will see what he has to say with the information I will give him.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for all your help, answers to questions and guidance in the trying time when my cat was diagnosed. I really appreciate all your information and support. Will stay in touch.

Congratulations! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Usually we say a cat is in remission if the cat can maintain BG levels for 14 days between 40-120 with most of that spent under 100... and Boo is definately there! However, please keep in mind that once a diabetic always a diabetic.

Tips for staying OTJ:

1.. obvious.. no dry food ever - and if you ever think about a new type of canned - be 100% sure its low carb
2 - check his blood once a week to watch for issues
3 - weigh him once every couple of weeks (if you are able to) if not no big deal
4 - be careful of meds from the vet. Remind the vet that Squeaker is a diet controlled diabetic - so no oral sugar in meds and no steroids
5 - watch the pee patch size, eating and drinking amounts
6 - regular vet checkups and watch for infection ie urinary tract, dental/teeth, ear etc

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.
