Don't See Any Difference with 1.75 dose of Pro Zinc So Far?

Hi everyone, I can't seem to get the numbers I did a few weeks ago. I noticed my cat's neuropathy worse these past few days. She is getting around, but not the same.
The 1.75 BG numbers don't seem any different. I used it 3 times so far?? I am getting worried.
What do you guys thinks?

I have a few thoughts. One, Maybe the fancy feast has too much fat in it and it is aggravating the pancreas.
There are too different Werurva varities she tried today and I think liked. Peking Duck, Weruva, has 9% carbs and 29% fat. My vet didn't like Fancy feast due to the fat content but said that I could stay on her regular dry and wet food which had just as much fat. The Dr. Pierson charts say they have 9% carbs and fat in the 30 percentage range compared to Fancy Feast with about 5% carb and 44 % fat. The only thing is the weruva have gravies so I wonder if the carb count is accurate.


Another idea. Do you think I should get some more bloodwork or medical checkup done. At diagnosis, I got a digital radiograph, ultrasound cystocentesis,
urine culture and MIC, Free t4 add on, SC, CBC, T4, UA, complete blood count, superchemistry blood profile, T4 thyroid function, and urinalysis micro exam. I just copied it from the bill. She had a convenia antibiotic injection a few times as well.
I don't know if my cat still has pancreatitis? Could this be creating insulin resistance? Or is my cat in pain so BG goes up? It was seen in an x-ray in the initial workup. I mentioned it to the sub vet and he said that he is eating fine so it shouldn't be an issue. Should I get another X-ray or should the insulin work despite that?
Should I keep with the 1.75 ?

Last night you had a 50% drop at +5. That is a good, solid drop. I wonder if she was lower at +6/7. I'd give it a few cycles. If you could get a curve, +4/6/8, it would probably tell you a lot more.

Thank you Sue for your input. I pray for blue tonight!

Every time you give insulin and test, its an experiment and you're getting more data about how your cat responds to insulin at various glucose levels and insulin doses. It is definitely a process, not an event.
