Hi everyone!
I apologize in advance for posting here, but I only got one reply in the “Feline Health” section and I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same experience as me.

Is it possible for bg to go from normal to 300–400 in just 10 days? Has this ever happened to any of you? Is this normal?

Seta, my cat, went into remission almost 2 years ago thanks to this group, but then suddenly, in early July, I saw her drinking from her water bowl (she never does that—she eats low-carb wet food, and I add 1–2 tablespoons of water to each meal), and when I checked her bg, I got this nice surprise, as you can see from her spreadsheet.

I’ve already taken her to the vet and had her blood and urine tested, and according to the vet, there was nothing to suggest any inflammation or other diseases —just the typical abnormal values associated with uncontrolled diabetes.

I'd like to hear your opinion.Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!🙏
 
You got a couple replies on your post in Feline Health: Out of remission in just 10 days?

This forum is primarily for people who have cats who are currently receiving insulin. Only a small subset of those whose cats were diabetic, went into remission, then back needing insulin again. So it's not a good place to get those answers for your question. Having said that, the typical culprits are a dental (as mentioned in your other post on Feline Health), steroids, easy access to high carb food, and other type of infection or inflammation. A rarer reason is a cat with acromegaly that goes into remission temporarily, then becomes diabetic again as the acro tumour changes.

From your spreadsheet, it looks like you are doing a great job getting her regulated again.
