Curve Diabetic Test
By Charlie on Apr 23, 2010 in Hearing & Orthepedic

Does your cat have diabetes? ?
This is a disease where you need to be proactive and be the primary caregiver with the vet as a secondary source. I can help you learn what you need to take control.
Here are some tidbits
Doses should never be raised based on fructosamines or a single test. That could be dangerous
Curves at the vets can be off by more the 100 points due to stress and other factors.
Insulin needs can change over time
Are you feeding DM or MD?? You can do oh so much better for cheaper. Lower carbs is what reduces insulin needs.
Were doses ever raised by more then 1/2 bid? sigh
Are you giving more then 5 bid of insulin? sigh
Do you hometest or know how to? it is the ONLY way to know if it is safe to give insulin and get the info u need to treat this correctly. I can teach you how.
There is nothing in this for me except the pleasure of helping
I have owned and adopted diabetic
Good hints!! One of my cats is diabetic, and when she reached the age of 12 had to go on insulin – basically only 2 drops a day. My vet was very careful about her readings, and was thrilled to know that I had a glucometer at home; after one month on insulin, she had me take readings once an hour, for 12 hours, to give her a good set of reading to keep in the fmedical file. She also asked that before going in for an annual exam, we do readings at home so that there are fewer stress induced levels. Twice a week she and the other cats have a roast chicken feast – lots of protein, no carbs. I encourage all diabetic cat families to invest in a really good, interested vet – it makes a big difference!
