After being on the Lantus for three weeks, his BG is now down to the 400's, it was over 550 when diagnosed. The vet orders him now to 3 units Lantus (up from 2), twice a day. Does this sound like progress? He hasn't lost any weight, but at least hasn't gained. My husband was hoping he'd be in a normal range, but I knew better than to expect that much improvement.
Vet didn't say anything negative about my choice of food and feeding schedule, so that was a relief. Wants another curve in 2-3 weeks.
I packed his lunch and snack and he ate it - was at the vet from 8:30 - 5:30. He acted a bit strange when he got home - legs seemed stiff, maybe from being confined all day.
After another curve, I may decide to try the home testing. At 100 bucks a pop......well, you can see why I tend toward this decision.
