Good morning! I am a newbie to feline diabetes. Powder was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and I have been giving him fancy feast twice daily mixed with a small amount of Purina DM dry to ween him off of the dry food that he used to get. I am giving him 1/2 a can (small can) with a very small amount of dry twice daily. He still seems like he is starving. He weighs 16 lbs. I have not been able to get him regulated yet. He started on 1 unit of Lantus...then 1.5... now 2 units and his BG is still high. 303 this morning after he ate. I am getting frustrated. The lowest he got to was 280 mid day.. I don't want to give him too much food to spike the BG higher but he still seems so hungry. I think he needs more insulin. Should I go ahead and increase it again? Should I increase his canned food to a whole can of 2 times a day? I am supposed to take him back to the vet this friday. I am getting discouraged. Any suggestions? Thanks.
