Yes, it's frustrating. Knowing that high glucose can damage organs and almost immediately starts growing cataracts that lead to blindness, I am really wanting to get this under control ASAP.
She started insulin Jan. 25th, 3 units 2x/day, and increased to 4, 5 and 6 u, since then, and her glucose is still around 400 all day. She is on Humulin N, which I hear is a slower/long lasting insulin, and there are others that are faster (they don't recommend due to hypoglycemia risk). Some dogs do better with different brands, so that is a possible variable. I've been strict with her food, to keep that in check.
I'm waiting for the vet office to open to review. I think Dr C is off today, so I hope to talk to Dr N and get her take on it all. I need to see some progress, then I can accept it being slow.
Thanks again everybody for all your well wishes. |
