Cats BG over 600,** problem solved

[Bellasmom]

can I give insulin 1 hr early???.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

I wouldn't!

 

[Bellasmom]

Isn’t that high dangerous, sorry I’m in a panic

 

[Sean & Rufus]

Well, it's not ideal number, but it's not too harmful. I brought my cat to the ER for being at 600. They said not to do that again, because it would be a waste of time and money.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

Why did you lower the dose?

 

[Bellasmom]

Why did you lower the dose?

It was suggested that I do

Oh ok. Well I'm not expert but I thought you were only supposed to reduce when they get below 90. Lowest I see is 139. Hopefully the numbers will come down on this dose, but I'm not too sure of that.

She's not on lantus.

Novolin is an in and out insulin. You can adjust times by up to an hour.

 

[Sean & Rufus]

My apologies for bad info. I'll stick to the Lantus side of things.

Thanks Jane, sorry was in a panic

Thanks Janet! I thought Novolin was not a layover or build up type insulin. Prozinc is also in & out. The L’s are are build up type but correct me if I’m wrong.

Correct. Novolin, vetsulin and ProZinc are a little more flexible with timing.

Why were you advised to lower from 0.5? Trying to stop the bouncing?

Yes

That's a guideline for Lantus. Bella is on Novolin N.
