This cat is driving me nuts! I've been treating him for diabetes now for 3 months, and we're still not regulated. I took him back to the vet today for a blood glucose check, and he was 412!! He's on Purina D/M food dry and canned. The only thing he gets that isn't diabetic in nature is treats, and he gets those twice a day for when he gets his insulin. He's such a good boy when he gets his insulin too, and the vet said treats were allowed, so I don't want to stop giving him those. He did say I could use the canned food as a treat, but they're expensive and I'll never get 2 cans of wet food eaten in a day. Even with the others, they won't finish that much canned food.
We're now up to 5 units of insulin twice a day. The vet also commented that Calloway has put weight back on, and that's not good.SIGH. Before it was "don't let him lose too much weight", then he gained some back, lost a little more, now gained some more back. He's still a little over 17lbs, and a chubber. So, what is it? Lose weight? Don't lose weight? I'm getting frustrated and confused by the different comments (2 different vets, same practice).
Anyone else deal with a cat with diabetes and having issues controlling the glucose levels? Anyone not having issues and have suggestions??
