Hi everyone. Ozy just passed his nine months anniversary since his diabetes diagnosis. In December he tested at 68% for IAA and a 92 for IGF-1. He is classified as high normal for acro and high for IAA. We are currently at 7 units of Levemir with fairly good BG control. He has been as high as 9.5 units.
He can go low unexpectedly, which I guess is how it is for IAA. I test a lot. The Levemir also is much flatter for Ozy than Lantus was, plus the Lantus stung so much when he got to six units.
He is doing so much better than he was 9 months ago when his health was pretty bad. His neuropathy is gone. He is more engaged and active and I think feels better than he has in a few years.
He has been much easier to bring down than Black Kitty, who was classified as extreme at 88% and I thought that was because Ozy's IAA is classified as high classification while BK is extreme. But I've a few other SS's for IAA only cats and I am not so sure now. Pattie's Harley was 66% for IAA and he was much harder to bring down. And a cat named Emma was 88% (extreme) and seems to have been about like Ozy to bring down. So what do I know...
