**Maybe I should be posting this in the Lantus section?? Thoughts??**
Hello All! My cat, Gizzy and I are new to this site but certainly not new to FD or the TR Protocol. Gizzy was first diagnosed in 12/08 and was OTJ from 2/23/09 - 8/23/10. After 8/10, I didn't need to dose him every day - I only dosed him when he needed it. However, as of 1/20/11 - I can't seem to get him regulated. He seems to be in high flats and I'm having a hard time determining if it's too much insulin (Somogyi rebound) or if he needs more insulin. Can you please take a look at his #'s and let me know what you think?? He's on Lantus.....and eats only Fancy Feast (Classic) foods. Gizzy is 12 years old, an orange tabby, weighs 14 pounds and is the love of my life! :smile:
Background Info: He had his teeth cleened in 11/2010 and I just had him at the vet on 2/1/2011. She put him on antibiotics because he had the red line on his gums and she said his lymph nodes were a little enlarged. Also, as a side note, our other cat had a BAD case of upper respiratory infection in November....he still has a runny nose and sneezing sometimes ($1500 vet bill and 4 months later....I'm starting to believe that he has feline herpes). I'm sure that Gizzy has it too since they live in close quarters....I have no idea what the correlation between feline herpes and feline diabetes is???? Does anyone know if he has that - can he ever go back into remission again??
