Okay I didn't realize the whole message board would be updated so taking some time to get used to the new version. With that said, hopefully those that I talked to yesterday comment on my posts for today in relation to my boy. So this morning I fed my boy Fancy Feast around 8am and waited an hour to check his glucose. It was 168. So should I give him any insulin? I know Sue and a couple others said no shot if below 200. It made me think back to the main VET that I talked to at the animal clinic I go to and she said let Science lead the way in regards to when I asked her how often I should check his glucose. However, she like the other VET said only go off insulin if he consistently stays around 100 or slightly below but ones on here say 200. This is a very frustrating period for me because its like most of you on here probably and obviously know more about diabetes in cats then I do but wouldn't you expect a VET to know what he or she is talking about on how much to give and how often to give it and what number my boy needs to be at before he can be off his insulin? Remember, I am using Novalin N and not the other cat insulin products so like what Sue said, it probably spikes 3-6 hours once injected and then the remaining 6 hours its not as effective. The 168 reading this morning was approximately 12 hours since his last injection and I'm sure he didn't eat hardly any food through the night either.
