Does anyone have the spreadsheet in excel they can send me? I don't have the skill to recreate and I don't like working in Google docs.
We are dealing with a tricky diabetic, our second steroid induced cat. Unlike Newkitty, one shot and a week of a low dose of predwas all it took (Newkitty took it 2 times daily for 7 years before turning diabetic). He is meal fed canned food, has never been given steroids again and we cannot keep weight on him (8lbs 3 oz--he looks so thin--9 lbs is his sweet spot) nor can we keep him from yo-yoing (I don't think it's Somogyi...he does NOT eat consistently no matter what we offer him). I really don't know how to handle this kind of diabetic. Despite Newkitty continuing to be on pred her whole life (even now, and she has been off insulin for a year) and always eating high carb dry, she was a very consistent diabetic and quickly regulated on U and Lantus. He is hyper-T (well-regulated) and has feline herpes, likely in his teens.
I think this spreadsheet will help us get on track. Can anyone share??
