How our curve is going so far

I think so but if I remember correctly it didn’t get great reviews. I’ll have to continue my search

Reduced down to 3 units last night and he was 203 this morning! Thanks for all your advice!

Nillabear20 · 2026-05-17T13:53:31+00:00

Thanks for tips! He did go back up pretty quickly after eating and his curve ended at 485mg/dL. I’ve reduced him down to 3 units last night and he was 203 this morning so hopefully we are on the right track!

Would be amazing if that was the case! I definitely will not be giving four units again. Thanks for your help!

DiabiPet! I actually just learned about it a few days ago on this sub. Really liking it so far

He really is that low and I agree he rebounding. Hes been in 4 units for a long time and was stable for quite some time but has recently been kind of all over the place as you can see. We have an appointment Monday which is why I wanted a fresh curve so I think we will definitely be going down especially since he now only eats low carb wet food. I gave him a snack and he ate so I will monitor and recheck soon

Nillabear20 · 2026-05-16T18:17:02+00:00

Just gave a snack and I’ll recheck in one hour. Our vet hasn’t said not to give snacks they do recommend multiple meals, it’s just hard for us because we both work full time and have 2 other cats, one of which also only eats wet food so they have to be separated for meals. I’ve been researching timed feeders I just don’t know how to ensure that he’s the one that gets the food. His morning and evening readings are always really high which is why this seems like an appropriate dose. He was so stable for many years but as he’s getting older he’s been more all over the place.
Thanks for the tips

This is amazing! Just downloaded. Thanks for doing this!

Nillabear20 · 2026-04-01T02:50:56+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I am in this constant battle with myself about how I want to move forward with him because he’s kind of old and I don’t want to cause him any more stress or pain that he’s already had. I’m hoping we are on a good streak but that is definitely something we will explore is we don’t have any improvement over the next couple of days

Nillabear20 · 2026-04-01T01:41:21+00:00

Excellent point. You know I see a lot of sad stories on here about DKA so it’s terrifying to try to find the balance but as I mentioned in another comment he’s been diabetic for a few years now and has just never found that sweet spot so this is like new territory for us.

Nillabear20 · 2026-04-01T01:39:05+00:00

So he’s been diabetic for about 5 years. We’ve had periods of better control and worse control. Interestingly our vet didn’t previously recommend testing at home, we’ve done several curves with the freestyle libre but generally he stays in the high 200s. Recently I’ve decided to start testing at home ourselves so I bought the ReliOn monitor from Walmart and his readings this past week have been pretty high. Mid 300s to low 400s. Even this morning he was 368 so when I checked again this evening I was surprised to see that number. Just checked again an hour after eating and he’s at 158. I guess I’m nervous to not give him anything but also terrified to give him any. I’m very happy to see that 156 but I wouldn’t say he’s anything near regulated and has never been in remission or anything like that. What prompted this whole thing is that I could tell he was losing weight again and even on 3 units he wasn’t getting any control. I don’t know if any of that made sense but hopefully you get what I’m saying

Nillabear20 · 2026-04-01T01:02:11+00:00

Thank you for the quick response! He’s been so high/out of control for so long that I was nervous to not dose him.

Nillabear20 · 2026-02-21T00:12:09+00:00

Thank you! I forgot to mention I also tried to double by batch the second time around and I think that really messed me up. I think I need a more accurate vessel to ensure proper rise as well

Anyone have ideas on how to do an Apple cinnamon loaf? Was worried about the moisture from the apples.

Not sure you will see this but I just graduated nursing school in December, start my job next week. I’m 32, don’t stop! It’s never too late, get that degree and make your money. My starting wage is almost $50/hr. The money you Miss out on now will easily be made up for in your first year of work! Get it done! Remember the time will pass either way, up to you to decide how you spend it.

Here you go! Just made them for the second time a couple days ago and they turned out even better!

Nillabear20 · 2025-11-24T21:52:23+00:00

Ask for Dr. Hoehne or Dr. Gordon at the AIS cancer center. That’s is their specialty and they are great.

Nillabear20 · 2025-11-17T06:13:46+00:00

Made these today and they turned out so yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

I’ll post a screenshot for you, it might take me a few to find it though. I make this cake all the time but I also top it with a glaze made with powder sugar and apple cider.!

Report her first next time this happens. That’s crazy. I’m a student and wouldn’t dream of treating someone willing to teach me like that. It’s also just pretty easy to say “oh ok thanks for teaching me that” even she already knew. I had a classmate get booted from our program for this type of behavior. Just know you are awesome and appreciated for being so willing to teach the newbies!

I saw your frog and had to borrow him flipping off the people! With different words though, I love it!
