Curve Diabetic
By Charlie on Aug 19, 2009 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 cats for many years and have helped many get controlled by diet after a time.
The vet thinks my cat might be diabetic. His blood sugar was over 300 when he tested it on two occassions. However at home my cat is not showing any symptoms. He drinks only after his meals twice a day and pees one good pee once a day. He gets very stressed at the vet and even wets himself. I can’t afford to put him on insulin and don’t even want to. I don’t think there is enough evidence of diabetes. He is heavy at 16lbs but is big boned. He does eat mainly dry food with chicken.
