When you say he eats less...is that less than his normal calorie requirements would be or just less then before?
Some cats as they get into lower numbers eat less which is ok if they are getting their calorie requirement.
If we say eating less is ok, and his numbers drop to the point of earning a reduction ...you would drop your dose. I know you have been around and do have a history of DKA. So eating and insulin is an important part of your decision making. I don't have experience with that component. How is Sprocket otherwise?
Do we need to tag someone with experience in this area for you?
He eats less than his normal. He eats about 10-12oz a day, mostly 1-2oz per meal. With this amount his dose of 2.75u will put him in 100s but if he eats less then he goes below.
If I take the reduction then he goes back up in high 200s or 300s.
So this time I am gonna try to not reduce till 3rd time to keep him in the 100s more but he needs to eat same amount.
Its hard to tell if its attitude, nausea, upset belly, or normal.
I cried n went to lay down. Then he ate. I tested again. 131.
Now he ate again. Nibbles little at time. But sometimes he wont so it stresses me. If he eats a meal then i can sleep knowing he is safe but when he nibbles then i cant sleep cause i dont know if he is safe.
I am trying not to get sick cause feel like crap.
??I wonder if i give a little higher carb to start in amps meal maybe it will hold him as he drops so its slower but sometimes he will go up instead with 7 or higher carbs.
Trying to read this balance is frustrating.
I been doing this dance almost 10 months like this so i know what to do if hypo low but trying to not get there so he will surf more.
