Hi Everyone. It's been awhile again. This is a busy year for me, so not getting on board too often. I miss keeping up with all the kitties.
Oreo went for his 2yr check up since DX. He is doing well. Is back to his normal weight of a bit over 12 lbs. They didn't do bloodwork, but didn't see a need to. New Vet was extremely impressed with the SS that I brought. She says she has never seen one like it. However, she frowned a bit over how many times he is tested. I explained that Oreo can be in the 200's one test and an hour later be in the low double digits with no signs of it. She seemed better after that. She asked if we were using DM. I told her Fancy Feast. I explained how we can sometimes carb manipulate to keep his numbers steady. She was really interested where I learned so much. I proudly told her about this board and all the people here who saved Oreo's life.
Two years and our sweet Oreo seems like any other perfectly healthy cat. I am so grateful to you all. I know he wouldn't be here without all the support and advice I have received over the past 2 yrs
Anyway, I think I'm going to raise Oreo's insulin a bit. He seems to be stuck in yellow and blue lately. But he has also had quite a lot of low blue at night that may go to green during the night. So I am going to give him a few days and see what he does. But we have been at 1.75f for awhile now. I think we are stalling a bit and need a little kick start. What do you guys think?
A HUGE thanks for helping me to keep Oreo here with us 2yrs later. It's so nice to know there are people here to turn to, even now.
