When Lily was first diagnosed in November my vet had her on 4 units in the am and 3 units in the pm of Prozinc. It was suggested to me to lower her dose to 2 units-basically start over. She is now taking 3.25 units and it doesnt seem to matter whether she is on 4 units or 2 units or even 3 units, her glucose numbers have been running basically the same. I am so worried about her kidneys being affected with her high glucose for several months now.
 
It is possible that Lantus would work better. I would also consider regularly raising the dose. After 3 cycles if her numbers are still in the yellows midcycle, increase by 0.25. The insulin seems to work - she drops. It just doesn't seem like it is enough.
 
Before I started the spreadsheet she was on 4 units in the am. Her numbers havent changed much even when I switched her to a lower dose, so that why I am considering the change to Lantus.
 
Yes I realize that. I just wanted someone to look at her spreadsheet and see that at 2 & 3 units her numbers are not that different. I want to do what is best for my kitty.
