I have a friend that seems to think that He knows everything in the world and has taken it upon himself to let me know that I'm killing my cat because I'm doing it all wrong.
He said that I can't get Peanut's numbers down because I'm feeding him too much. I have calculated his food requirements but I guess he could eat a little less so I won't argue with that one too much.
He also said that I'm feeding him too often. I feed Peanut twice a day, I give out the food after his injection and it stays out for about 6 to 8 hours and then I pick it up. I explained that he has to eat twice a day because of his insulin injection but I was met with argument. He said that he understood that he needed some food in order to get his insulin injection but that he didn't need a full meal.
He says that Intermittent Fasting is better. I would agree that Peanut is overweight and that IF is great for a non diabetic human to lose weight but we all know that fasting can cause dangerous BG drops in our FD buddies.
He is trying to tell me that by using the method that I'm using that I'm never going to get a handle on his diabetes and that I'm eventually going to end up killing him be giving him insulin that he doesn't need because if I just got him to lose weight and fed him less that his BG would naturally go down. He claims that I obviously don't really understand diabetes and I'm doing more harm than good.
He says that fasting is healthy for a diabetic lol. What?
And lastly that ketoacidosis isn't dangerous. He claims that we just don't understand it. Like a human eating a low carb diet and entering a ketogenic state, says that cats don't need carbs so if they enter a ketogenic state or even ketoacidosis then it's not dangerous. I tried to explain that it's two different things but he wasn't listening.
He is seriously ticking me off, isn't he wrong on all fronts?
