Update... Yuki is honeymooning

| 1 Comment

It's official ... Yuki cat is honeymooning :) . In the world of feline diabetes, a honeymoon is a brief (or sometimes not-so-brief) period when the diabetes disappears and insulin injections are not required. Yuki's insulin injections were stopped on Friday, and her blood glucose reading today was still within to slightly above the normal range for cats (80-120 mg/dl). So we will discontinue her insulin for now.

However, as you know from Saturday's entry, we are now dealing with the early signs of renal failure. A change in diet to a low protein senior formulation of the same commercial dry and canned food she has been eating is the only change we will make at this point. We will continue to keep a close eye on her and if all seems well, she will go back for a recheck and another blood test and urinalysis next month.

Here's the website I've picked to begin my background reading: Feline CRF Information Center
