You must be exhausted!
I talked with Pepper's vet and they called in an Rx for Lantus. They said the vial should be replaced after 60 days (mine is over 90 days old.) It's possible the one I've been using could last longer, but I feel I should give the new batch a try. I got a coupon from goodrx that will bring the cost down to $203.00.
 
  • Oh Julia 203.00 for a vial.



  • Here is a coupon from Single Care , just google Singlecare.com and I typed in your zip code 06483 is that correct and then it shows you the cost for each store for the day.
  • Go to the site and hit get free coupon and they will send you the coupon to your phone, or print it
  • Bring it to which ever store it's for or do all of them.
  • This is for the solostar lantus pen.
  • It will last for about 4-6 months depending on the dose you give.
  • Jus take the top off the pen and stick your syringe in the little gray rubber stopper and draw the insulin. You will need a script or doctor can call.
  • I called the stores where I live and they do give it to pets

Julia call one of these pharmacies and make sure of the price for the solorstar pen.
Then tell your vet to call in it to where you would go.
The pens last much much longer than the vials
203.00 that's crazy
Then down the road you can order from Marks if you want to
You call them and they will contact your vet.

It's too late. I just purchased the vial from Walgreens. I'm going to go cry now.
 
Julia if you ever want to tag someone to ask for help this is how you do it
Put this symbol after the last word you type with a space
@Julia78 start to type the first couple of letters of the persons name and on the left hand side you will see a couple names come up, when you see the person you want tap on their name
So it's a space after you last word then start to type their name , when you see their name tap in it. Hit post You will then see their name in blue @Julia78

Try tagging me if you want to see if you are doing it right
 
Diane Tyler's Mom said:
Hey Deb what would Julia's take action number be if he drops too low?
Click to expand...
Take action number for Julia and her kitty Pepper. Good question. I'm not sure, but think that any BG <100 would be time to take action. That recommendation is because there is such limited test data for Pepper, and we don't know how feeding LC (low-carb), MC (medium carb), HC (high carb) food would bring the numbers up for Pepper. Some cats are carb sensitive. Some are not.

Diane Tyler's Mom said:
What about her pre shot number , is it no shoot under 200 and then ask for help?
Click to expand...
No shoot number in the Feline Health forum is 200. But in the lantus ISG group it's 150 mg/dL. It's not truly a "no shoot" insulin number. But a stop and consider your options. Those options being stall, token dose, or skip. Depends on the situation, which choice someone makes.

Yes, we all know that Diane is a "night owl", up testing Tyler all the time and helping other people that are on late. ;) We're happy she is here for people.

Julia, would it be possible for you to start a new thread please? When the number of posts gets to be more than 50, it takes a lot of time for someone to read through the entire thread. I don't mind, but some people do.

If you do start a new thread, please link this old thread in at the top, for history and reference. If you would do that please, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you so much Deb , yes there isn't much data to go on yet. Hoping she will see this and understands what it means, I'll explain it to her :bighug::cat:
 
Julia78 said:
Thank you, Deb. I really appreciate your support and advice. Because of my work schedule, I have been giving Pepper his insulin at 8:30am and 9pm on Sundays and 10am and 10pm all other days. I hope this is ok. Can you please tell me what BG numbers I'm looking for? And I will go to the glossary to find out what nadir means. Thank you again. Have a good sleep. Julia ps/ I will start giving 1.25 units tomorrow morning.

Thanks! As you can see, it's taking me a while to catch on here.
 
Julia what Deb is saying since you don't have that much data yet on Pepper
when you are checking Peppers BG during the cycles and you get a BG under 100 feed him about a tablespoon of wet low carb food such as the Fancy Feast Classics.

Then test him about 30 minutes or so again to make sure his BG has come up.
We need to see if he responds to the low carb food.
Now if it doesn't come up and goes lower you can then go to the medium carb food and test again in 30 minutes

If not then you would go to high carb
Eventually when you gather more data and see how Pepper responds you won't have to feed him anything if the number is below 100 .
Of course if its in the 60's I would feed him a little bit something and test
It's all going to depend on his numbers, always as for help
You would do a new thread such as ? Low numbers need help

As for his AMPS or his PMPS if his BG is 150 or less you would do what Deb said above I copied it again for you.

You would post a thread title would be something like this
? Need help Stall, Token Dose , Or Ship ??

Do you sort of understand everything?
Like Deb and I said once you have a lot more data on Pepper you would shoot a BG of 150
You have to see how the lantus is working for Pepper, how low he is dropping during the cycles and when.

Members shoot BG's as low as 68 because we have a lot of data and know how our cats react.

Just remember if you are not sure of something always ask
I know it's tough for you to get a lot of tests in because of your hours but do the best you can.
You might have to do more testing at night and before you have to be at work at 1:30
so we at least have more data on Pepper
Does this help you to understand

Stall means to wait 20-30 minutes after the first pre-shot test, without feeding, and retest again to see if the BG number is rising. By rising we mean 20% or more, not just a few points.

Token dose is giving 10-25% of the regular dose.

Skip is not giving the insulin at all.

I think Feline Health is the better place for Julia right now, until she gets the hang of things.

You are right, I was going it over in my mind just now on how to explain to her how to copy her previous days threads and how to start a new thread, which I see you already explained it.I'll try and explain it to her tomorrow morning publicly. Yep you are right Feline Health . I hope you get a good sleep and thank you for saying you are happy I am here for people.
When I first joined I said to myself I don't think I would ever be able to help any one if they needed help or to explain anything to someone. I am so thankful for all of you still helping me and Tubby lol Tyler out . He just better start giving me some greens with this new dose or else lol @Deb & Wink :bighug::cat:
