Feline Updatery: Cat of Size

[lagilman]

Some of you following along on FB/Twitter/Patreon already know that Cat of Size had a hypoglycemic event yesterday morning (around 3:30 am, because of course he did), and ended up getting an emergency check on his numbers.

I just got off the phone with the vet. CoS's numbers came back, and they're awesomely good. I mean, better than we've seen since he was diagnosed three years ago (almost exactly three years ago, in fact).

So, in light of the fact that he's had two hypoglycemic events in the past 6 months, we're taking his insulin dosage down a smidge, and will retest him again in 6-8 weeks to see how that's working.

Fingers crossed: we may finally have gotten his diabetes under control.

(that is not to say "cured," but under control.  Which is huge.)

YAY!

Trouble-kitty is down to half a unit twice a day--she wasn't crashing but she was low for her tests. Her Catkins diet is doing the job.

So glad her virtual big sugarbrother is doing well, too.

da Boomer's down to 3 units 2x a day, for the moment. His highest level was 4.5.


We'll take it.

That's an excellent development. I hope it continues.
