hi my cats name is sam and she is eight years old. she became diabetic in oct and was put on caninuslin twice a day at 2 units and did not do well on it, she was not feeling good because of the big drops. so change to lantus. she eats tc feline raw and evo wet plus fancy feast low carb food. she is about 12.5 pounds she was 14.5 but lost weight, she should be around 10 pounds. she is always hungry and she pee's a lot. she does feel better on lantus but still not as active as she once was. i cannot get her numbers down, am i giving to much insulin or not enough? someone please help me i am confused. i do check for ketones but never had any. she gets her shots at 9:30 am and 9:30 pm. i attached her sheet with all the numbers on it. i hope someone can figure this out because i feel so bad for my cat.

Here are instructions on how to upload/import the spreadsheet into Google Drive.

Are you following the Tight Regulation Protocol with Lantus? If not, you may find that helpful.

If you are following the protocol, are there other health conditions such as renal disease, hyperthyroidism, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or high dose conditions (acromegaly, IAA, Cushings)?
 
no other health condition, just she has some kind of aggression about 3 years ago. the vet thought it is rolling skin symdrome, as she has all the signs for it, all test were done to rule everything out. so they put her on amitripline i think thats how you spell it. she is on a very small dose of this every 2 day and it seems to control it. we are not doing tight protocol with sam.

The last post in the intruction thread tells you how to upload the spreadsheet file to Google as well as how to publish it.

The diet you are feedig is just fine. The insulin dose may need to be adjusted but we'll need to see your spreadsheet first before we can advise you on that. Hope you can get your spreadsheet online soon :smile:
