Started on 2 units once a day with Humulin U. Increased to 4 units twice a day over a month and still no improvement. Vet made a mistake and miscalculated when we went to PZI Insulin, and almost quadrupled Leon's dose! (Started him on 7 units twice a day). He did improve with the PZI, though, only to hypo twice, and then honeymoon since the beginning of June! Thanks to the FDMB, I learned to home test Leon and saved his life on at least one occasion. If I didn't hometest, I wouldn't have known he was no longer diabetic.

Helen was regulated for almost four years on 6.5 units BR PZI bid. In June 2002 her bgs went haywire. She was subsequently diagnosed with several other diseases. She never became regulated again. In May, 2003, Helen left for the bridge at the age of 17.5 after developing serious heart/brething problems.

Dr. Wied’s motto for his clinic is “Quality with Compassion” which is what led me to change to his practice. He is very experienced with feline diabetes, is a major proponent of home testing, and is a phenomenal communicator with his patient’s owner. I chart the curves on a spreadsheet along with food, ketone tests, etc. and fax all the information to his clinic weekly. If we need to do so we have a telephone conference. We do go in occassionally for checkups and testing.

My cat has not started treatment yet. I was at a loss as to what to do because the vet that saw him seems to think he may be hard to treat and has mentioned putting him to sleep. To me this is out of the question. I don't want to take him to someone that won't try his best to help him. If anyone knows a vet in this area that will take a real interest in helping him not just putting him to sleep please let me know a name and location in this area. Thanks
