Just diagnosed with feline diabetes

[Jean & Boogie]

Hi. My 13 year old male cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. We are trying to see if we can control it with diet right now, but insulin may be needed. The vet say he is a difficult patient because his blood sugar is still a little high on a low carb diet, but he is very sensitive to insulin. .5 unit of Lantau drops his blood sugar to low. Any suggestions on how to better his blood sugar from anyone with the same problem is appreciated.

You also might check out information on Lantus, in the Lantus insulin support group. I have read the stickies there, and also in many posts that you can give less than 0.5 U of insulin, if indicated. But, please read and get information and advice from experienced Lantus users. I wish you the best in your search for answers and your quest to help Boogie feel better.
