Please excuse I am new,
Anyhow I took my cat Lilly back to the vet today. I previously took her off her insulin as she was on Lantus and her numbers went to low and I was scared I would hypo her. I know nothing about dosing Lantus and was getting no cooperation from the vet.
She has been off the insulin for two weeks now. I have been spot checking her as I have been really sick for several weeks with something, her numbers started in the low 100`s and have now climbed to last night 208 never really going higher than 234 on October 4 when I tested her. She has never been in the 300`s
Previously they had her on 1 1/2 units twice a day when I took her off of it I thought it was to much as one time I tested her preshot and got a 64.
Anyhow today they told me to start he back on 1 unit twice a day. I need to know from experienced Lantus users if they think this is to much for her When I test her she usually is in the low 200`s that seems to be the norm right now. Any help would be appreciated.Just tested her tonight and she was at 246 that is the highest yet I think the stress of the vet visit today has driven it up.
