Just spoke to Dr N and she feels the results are just what is expected at this point and that she is still on a very low dose so they are not concerned with possibility of Cushings at this point.
She has increased the dose to 7 units 2x/day, and to re-test in 10-14 days. They still want to go slow and let Meika's body and pancreas adjust.
One thing that made sense and will help me be patient, high glucose causes problems but it is slowly over a long period of time. Low blood sugar, hypoglycemia, is more of a concern because it can cause damage or death very quickly if not caught. So the whole purpose of increasing insulin slowly makes sense, to avoid that.
I will be patient, and restore my confidence that we will get this under control. Still happy that it was caught early, as many dogs are not diagnosed until they go blind. |
