Hi Everyone,
3 months ago my 13 year Cavalier dog was diagnosed with Cushings Decease, Diabetes, Sick Sinus Syndrome and a Heart Valve Issue. He nearly went blind at the beginning of the month, due to the diabetes attacking his system so quickly. I was able to have his cataract surgery done and he has done beautifully with his healing. However!! The Vetsulin has not been favorable for him and BG was spiking at odd times (Curve: 8:00am=313 10:00am=537 12:00pm=515 2:00pm=441 4:00pm=264 6:00pm= 255) I think they are trying to keep him in the 300-375 range, so the Internist has switched him to Novolin N and his levels are staying in the 525+ ranges. I am currently in the middle of a curve (Fasting Curve @ 7:00am=530 8:00am=507 10:00am=465 12:00pm=539). This is my first curve on the Novolin N I know we can regulate ourselves with urine strips and blood tests (which he is very tolerant of when I prick his paw). I am however, uncertain, of how much I can increase the Novolin N. I know they were increasing the Vetsulin 1-2 units at a time. Would that be the same for the Novolin N? I am so new to this and am so frustrated with the vets not helping. ALL help is appreciated!!
Thank You,
Jules
