Hello all, I am happy to report that Jasmine has been OTJ for exactly one year today. However, I do fear she is relapsing. I have noticed over the past few months her numbers have been slightly increasing. She maintained pretty consistent averages up until the time she went off the juice in April 2010 until November 2010 and then I noticed a slight increase but nothing to be alarmed from November to January (54 to 81) and now (April 2011) I am testing 201.8 before eating. Her numbers have been averaging 162 - 208.8 both before eating and after up to several hours. I am keeping an eye on her ketone levels as well. I had blood work done 2 months ago and I was advised that if her readings was 198 or less she is ok with no insulin? Should I ease her into a low dose of lantus at this point? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
 
Hi, Jodi & Jasmine.... Baby went OTJ just after Jasmine & is back on the juice.. no advice from me to you, but wanted to wish you both a Happy 1 year so far & I wish for you continued blessings!
 
Any chance Jasmine needs a dental? There have been a few kitties who came back from the Falls due to gingivitis or a dental issue. Have you noticed whether Jasmine is drinking and peeing more? Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with numbers averaging over normal range (i.e., 120).
 
Hi Jodi and Jasmine,

Zoe is back on Lantus after being OTJ for 2 years after a bout of Pancreatitis. Once we get her over the p'titis she will be having a dental. I wasn't happy with Zoe's numbers when they started to go over 130 - but when the p'titis hit they sky-rocketed to 230-299. So we are back on Lantus.

Good luck with Jasmine!
 
Thanks everyone. I have not had her dental checked but maybe should. She has been peeing and drinking excessively and I have noticed her appetite has become more aggressive. She is quite demanding at feeding times. I am thinking of starting her back on a small dose of lantus because I am concerned of her numbers.
