15 units of Lantus twice a day??? Has your cat ever been tested for Acromegaly or Cushings or insulin antibodies? These conditions can occur in diabetic cats and result in a huge amount of insulin needed to maintain the blood glucose levels at a somewhat decent level. Here is info: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=375I have. I was feeding him the calories of a 17 lb cat when he was 18 lb. Too much of a calorie decrease and they will have liver problems. He's on 15 units of Lantus a day some days a little less some days based on his b/g levels.
Not all canned foods are suiatable for diabetic cats. Low carb (under 10%) canned foods are best. This limits you to mostly pate type foods. Gravy/sauce foods are too high in carbs. if you search the FelineDiabetes.com forum, you'll find sugestions for low carb cannnd food brands from inexpensive Fancy Feast to price premium brands like Nature's Variety Instinct. Feed whateve your cat likes to eat and you can afford.He was on a canned diet. I'm not fond of prescriptions but I am desperate. I don't want his life shortened. I'm so scared especially after reading about your Grey. I can't do raw and he won't eat cooked. What or where nexted???
