It has been quite a few years since I've been here so I'm a "returning" member ;-)
I think it was back in 2004 that my kittie PJ was first diagnosed as a sugarkitty. She was on insulin for about 8 months and went on honeymoon until now. I "think" I was under the name Paula and PJ but couldn't swear to it - tried to pull up the old board but it wouldn't let me :-|
PJ has always had skin allergies and ONLY when very severe I have taken in for a depo shot when she has sores. So this a.m. had hubby take her and guess what sugar was 457 :roll: Really the only symptom I noticed in the last few days was drinking a lot of water at one time and then throwing it up and she has been eating a good bit more (cleaning all the other kitties plates for leftovers).
I talked w/the vet and she knows I'm not a newbie at this although it's been awhile. She says the new insulin Prozinc is good and I noticed the Prozinc site has a link to this website. I'll need to go to the store and get all the needed supplies and hopefully she will be a good girl like she was so many years ago :YMSIGH: So, here I am again - I will post again when I know more details...I still have all my charts and graphs from the old days and will have to dig them out as well.
P.S. - if it had not been for this web site I would not have been able to handle this when she was first diagnosed back in 2004. Everyone was such a tremendous help and I met many new friends :YMHUG:

If you'd like, you can also post in the PZI forum. Everyone there has experience with ProZinc. Sometimes it is helpful to check out their spreadsheets.
