My sugarcat Tisay 4yo and was diagnosed with diabetes. At the vet’s office her glucose is at 19.4 mmol/L and no ketones in urinalysis (Friday). I immediately changed her diet to all wet food Fancy Feast Classic pate the following day. She was tested again on Tuesday at the vet’s and shes at 14mmol/L. She was prescribed caninsulin 1UI 2x/day this dosage is based on her weight (4kg).
I tested her glucose today just before meal and shes at 12.2mmol/L. Fed her 1can of FF which is 85g and tested her levels again after 25mins and shes at 13.8mmol/L. I didnt give her insulin because her glucose did not spike as much and I’m also afraid the 1UI might be too much for her in this case?
I will call her vet to discuss this but I am assuming the diet change is working but I am fairly new to this and would appreciate any advice or hear your experiences as to whether to continue the diet change only and see if her glucose will regulate without insulin? And at what point should I start giving her the insulin?
