Glucose Toxicity

[Murphy's Momma]

I'm beginning to think that's what's going on with my baby... and I'm a little worried, because I feel like I'm at fault. I am just curious, is it easy to reverse/get him over? I plan on upping his dose starting tonight and any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

Looking at Murphy's spreadsheet, glucose toxicity is a distinct possibility. The name sounds worse than it is. Your cat gets used to being in higher numbers and it becomes a bit harder to get them to reacclimate to lower numbers. You may see more bouncing.

I would encourage you to look over the dosing methods that are described in the sticky note on the Lantus board. Pick a method and follow the guidelines. Doses are evaluated and changed after 3 days with Tight Regulation and after a week with Start Low Go Slow.

That's my problem I think - I haven't really stuck to any dosing method in particular because of the shedding period, and I'm so nervous he'll have a hypo event. Luckily I work for a Pet Resort and can bring my baby in with me if need be, so I can test him throughout the day when changing his dose. Thanks so much for your help!!!
