    Cole's diabetes heading into remission?

    Cole's insulin dosage has gone from 4U twice a day a few months ago to 1.5 twice a day right now.

    AND it'll have to be lowered again as his numbers went to 2.1 this morning. I gave him 1/4 c. of kibble after that reading. His levels went up to 2.6 and are now at 4.1.

    My regular vet says that the improving levels show that the cancer treatment is working. I don't know what the connection is, but it's all good!

    Wonderful news, Cole and Candace! Keep on keeping on! Continuing loving good wishes and prayers are being sent along to you both.

    Candace and Cole, I'm so happy to hear this! I'm not sure either what the connection is, but I know that cat diabetes can go into remission (not in dogs!).

    I emailed the glucose curve to both my vet and the oncologist yesterday. Dr. Becky, my vet, said this in her answering email:
    "Looks like Cole’s curve is great. I would cut his insulin again to 1 unit twice daily. I think he may be heading into remission, so we may be able to get him off of the insulin all together!"

    So, down to one unit tonight and tomorrow morning!
