There is still Hope

Snickers is doing great. Stayed out of dry food Saturday.
amps 355
pmps 268
Feeling better. I just did not want to take 3 steps back. We are doing well. At least he has not had the food spikes. With his canned food,he gets a total of 8-10 grams carbs for the whole day. One pass at the dry food and his system must go into shock.
We are going to keep on with wet food and testing. Since Cheryll refuses to poke his ear I spend alot of time at home. But gee I love it. Anything for my two sweet furry kitties. Mandy is well. Tabby business as usual.

Mandy here Update

I am well. Dermatitis flareup improving.

Snickers Mom Cheryll ,well she doesn't like to have to get him snacks and stuff. So She has got him back to eating Dry Dm. His bgs have been in high 300s-mid 400s. My mom who takes care of him is so upset,she is not feeling well. She is crying and her stomach is very sore and upset. Snickers only eats Fancy Feast during the day. Mom checks his bgs am and pm and spot checks.

Cheryll will not test him. She wants him to eat just dry. and shoot his insulin morning and night.

Her theory is well he will never be in remission and off insulin so??

8 1/2 months of hard work down the drain. Well I will keep on trying to get his bgs back down and off the dry.

Sometimes when I shoot his insulin at 12mn or say 11pm Etc I shoot it looks like 3 times in one day. It is 12 hours apart.
I talked to vet she said to shoot between 150-200. I had been holding insulin when under 200. Then I would have 300-400 bgs. Vet said to give full 3units ,even uner 150. She would only hold it if in the 60-70 range or he was ill and not eating. I have shot him with 1 unit at 179. That so far is the lowest he has been.

Snickers 8 TH Month Annifurrisary of being Adopted

Eight months ago Snickers arrived and headbutted and whiskerkissed his way into our lives. He has settled in very well. Mandy and Snickers together are a force to be reckoned with.
His diabetes is regulated with 3 units of NPH and low carb Fancy Feasts. His Favs are :
beef feast
liver and chicken feast
beef and chicken feast
Turkey and Giblet
He sometimes in a pinch eats liver and beef.
He does not like fish flavored anything ,especially if it has atrong taste and smell.Tuna we are not even going there.
Happy Annifurrivsary Snickers . We Love you Little Man. Mommy and Mandy

Mandy The Diva Drama Queen.

Mandy so loves the life of a tabby cat. Getting fed and waited on hand and foot. A brother who worships her always.
Mandy is doing well with her diabetes .Still diet controlled. Sheis more active and running and jumping some more.Mandy has never been much of a jumper. Which is okay with me.
She lives the good life .Laying in the sun watching birds and tanning her strips.

Diabetes Snicker style

Our Furry orange volboy is doing very well.Living the good life,nonstop tummy rubs, hair combed all day almost.
