Long story short my cat was diagnosed in May as a result of being on steroids for IBD.
Worked our way up to 4 units Vetsulin over the summer and then he was reading too low which lead to a reduction in insulin. It ended up with him being labeled in remission in August.
September he started drinking a lot of water at which point testing shows high BG and glucose in his urine. We started the Vetsulin again with .5 unit and have increased it up to the current 2 units over the month increasing each week.
With yesterday’s curve result the vet is going to tell me to up the dose again but I am worried he is actually rebounding/bouncing.
Sept 13 1 unit
Sept 21 1.5 unit
Sept 28 2 unit
I have been doing the curve at home with an Alphatrack 3. Yesterday’s curve was a new set of strips that control tested higher than the last set.
Due to the IBD he only eats Royal Canin Select PR (rabbit) wet food. He primarily eats off an on for about 2 hrs around the shot time and also eats midday. According to RC this food is 14%carbs.
