Greetings to the super team! Thanks to all of you, Maya has become a high functioning diabetic cat with EPI, and I couldn't be happier!

However, over the past two weeks, she hasn't been getting WeNzyme, the drug that helps her with EPI, because it's out of stock pretty much everywhere!
At first, I decided to wait it out, thinking that it would turn up somewhere. But today Maya has had diarrhoea again, and I fear she may be reverting to her sick self...

My vet cannot recommend anything else, she simply doesn't know. So, I turn to you once again, asking for help.

Thanks in advance!
 
I see you are following TR looking at your SS I see Maya dropped to 39 on a few occasions during the AM cycle and you didn't reduce . I am going to tag a few members to take a look at you SS to be sure

Thank you ladies
Can you please look at her SS , I see she is following TR and her cat dropped to 39 during thecAM cycles a few times and she didn't take the 0.25 reduction







Reducing the dose:

The TR Protocol is an aggressive method in itself. The modified version of the protocol is slightly more aggressive. Let's keep all our kitties in the Lantus, Basaglar, & Levemir ISG safe by taking reductions when appropriate.
  • If kitty drops below 40 (long term diabetic) or 50 (newly diagnosed diabetic) reduce the dose by 0.25 unit. If kitty has a history of not holding reductions well or if reductions are close together... sneak the dose down by shaving the dose rather than reducing by a full quarter unit.
  • Alternatively, attempt a reduction when the cat regularly has its lowest BGs in the normal range of a non-diabetic healthy cat (50 - 80 mg/dL) while staying under 100 mg/dl overall for at least one week.
