Morning all,
My cat Milo was diagnosed 8 weeks ago & is now on 3U Caninsulin twice a day. It disappears after ~6 hours post injection so the vet has just prescribed Hypurin Bovine PZI to try & keep his numbers down for longer.
I'm picking up the insulin & syringes this afternoon & will hopefully switch him this weekend & do his first curve at home. The Vet is very supportive of my home-testing & suggests I start with 1.5U x2 based on Milo's numbers (spreadsheet in my sig) but this makes me nervous. I would like to start at 1U & see how we go.
What would be the most appropriate starting dose, do you think? Am I being over cautious?
Thanks
Juliet
