Need advice?

[Steve and Buddy]

Hello Everyone. Me and Buddy have a couple questions. Vet check up yesterday. She says I'm doing wrong by a jousting his dose by his Nair or peak numbers. That I SHOULD Be going by his preshot numbers. Second question. His numbers have been high lately and find out he needs dental work. Could this be the reason for high numbers?

Your vet is wrong. Read the dosing methods again. You don’t seem to be following either one though and holding the dose too long. I don’t see see any 12 hours curves and only a PMPS test at night. Many cats drop lower at night so at least a before bed test is helpful. To answer your question a dental can make a big difference and not getting one can raise the bg.

Hi! I don’t see any numbers in your SS after November 2019. Do you have more recent numbers?

Dosing is based on Nadir, or how low a dose takes your kitty, not preshot values, although I have heard from members that their vet feels differently.

yes, dental issues can affect BG.

Any infection--especially a chronic one like bad teeth--definitely can increase blood glucose values. I've personally seen some cats go into remission just from getting their teeth done
