Makita - insulin autoimmune???

[cjleo]

Hello there,

I recently tested Makita for acromegaly and for insulin autoimmunity. His IGF is 100, so that is not an issue. But his IAA came back at 66%. He has been on Lantus for over a year, gradually increased from .5 based on nadir testing. His current dosage is 5 u bid, and his blood sugars are often over 350 at nadir. A recent frucosamine came in at 449 (borderline fair/poor control).

Does anyone have any experience with insulin autoimmunity?

Thanks,

Claudia

Maybe it is a simple thing as Lantus not being the right insulin for him? Just a thought.

I agree with Hope, I would try another insulin.

Hi Claudia - yes - several acrocats tested positive for IAA, and a few tested positive for only IAA.

Sandy & Black Kitty had IAA and are a success story - Black Kitty is OTJ

The other IAA kitties are noted in the sticky post in the Acromegaly/IAA/Cushings Cats group

ETA - Sorry, I see you've posted there
