Remission?

[Mary Cornelsen]

Hi all! Thanks in advance for anyone that contributes an answer to my question!

Paddington’s numbers have been amazing this month! I am not dosing unless he hits 250+ so he hasn’t had a dose of insulin almost all month long! I assumed remission was a window we missed a long time ago but I am starting to get hopeful that he is in remission!

Anyone willing to look at our spreadsheet in the signature and give us your opinion? Should I be microdosing? I don’t want to play with dangerously low numbers. I am hoping to do a curve this Sunday since I will be home all day.

Appreciate this group and the support!
Mary and Paddington

I'll tag a few members for you just out of curiousity why didn't you test during each cycle from 5-2 thru 9-2?

Well, not the conventional way to go otj but looking at the numbers he’s in remission. Congratulations.

Remission

Your cat is still diabetic but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low carb food in the manner successful for your kitty. If you decide to change his/her feeding schedule, let your meter be your guide to the best times to feed. Avoid medications with sugar in them and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood glucose weekly for the first month and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh him/her monthly. Weight should remain stable. If he/she seems "off" or sick, or is showing signs of diabetes (excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss), test his/her blood glucose right away. Keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission. If you see rising blood glucose numbers, it's time for a visit to the vet!

Thank you so much!! I’m still planning on testing daily for awhile for my own comfort but hopefully will go weekly soon!
