Insulin resistance after pancreatitis
by shmimi » Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:42 pm

Hi,
My 13 year old diabetic cat Buffy has just had a pretty bad attack of pancreatitis which resulted in an inflamed gall bladder and very high bilirubin counts and jaundice...that all seems to be resolving well after 10 days of support and medication at the vet, who is excellent. She is eating, bright and lively, but her blood glucose is high, and has not responded to insulin over two days...I think she is up in the 30's, and is on 5 units twice a day...anyone else ever experienced insulin resistance after pancreatitis? What can be done? Thanks, shmimshmimi

I'm assuming "Up in the 30's" that this is "world" rather than "US", so that's 540 or higher?

Not that it matters much but do you know what type of insulin? 5u BID is still 5u BID...

Any mention of of if these are preshots, mid-cycles, or both?
