I was just responding to hexies questions - I plan to make a thread there. Also, his dose has  been increased using that method. It wasn't just suddenly increased by a lot, this has been on ongoing thing. I know 12 is very high which is why I've been concerned.

It's been increased to 12 units but his numbers don't seem to improve no matter how much they increase the dose

I think technically they were lasting 10 days, but in my head I stored that as "about a week." His starting dose was 1 unit twice per day, and he was on that for a week, and it's been steadily going up since that. From what I remember when I was back home, all I noticed about his pee was that...

Sorry if I fail to be as informative as I should be on some counts - I'm actually living abroad right now and my boyfriend is the main caretaker of this cat, so I don't know/remember the specifics of everything. From what he told me, at first he was buying vials that cost about $50 and lasted a...

It's pretty consistently over 500. My boyfriend just sent me this document of measurements he and the vet took:    measurements are in mg/dl on device set/calibrated for cats1/14/2017 (11 units over 8 hours measured by vet) (date approximate)08:50 AM 73409:50 AM 71111:50 AM 57001:50 PM 52903:50...

We may be able to get rid of dry food once we move into our own place, but right now I don't think it's possible. Right now he and two of our cats are living with his parents, and since they insist on feeding their own cat dry food it's impossible to keep Karsten from eating it. This added to...

No, the brand has stayed the same. It's Lantus.

My baby Karsten was diagnosed with diabetes this summer, and he's been on insulin for close to half a year now. Only problem is, his prescribed dose has been increased multiple times and his blood sugar isn't under control. It's still much too high but he's already on an abnormally high dose for...
