Finding the right vetsulin dosage and schedule that works

Couple of things since last post.

  • Her blood glucose are highest before breakfast and before dinner so measure those two.  Currently, Dr. Jennifer Koga and I negotiated to 4u vetsulin in the morning and 5u before dinner
  • Cashew is doing well at 203mg in the morning and 247 at night.


  • Cashew wants to eat breakfast when she wakes up (can be anytime from 9am to 11:30am). and she wants to eat dinner with the hoomans (6pm-7pm).  Otherwise, we are stuck with her begging every 5 minutes.  So, I'm hoping this schedule/dosage works for her
  1. Wake up and eat breakfast
  2. 4u vetsulin
  3. 8 hours later, eat dinner (eat carrots and veggies for fillers)
  4. 5u vetsulin
  5. 16 hours of walk / sleep time
  • Family has been very supportive.  Dad boiling carrots for Cashew and mom making sure he's not giving too much. 👴👵🐕
