Hi Holly,

Thanks for the question.

On the surface, it’s a simple answer. The normal range for blood glucose in a cat is 4 – 9.7 mmol/L. On your curve day, you only have one single reading in the normal range.

Bottom-line….this is not under control. A dosage increase is needed.

I would expect a cat with readings like these to be exhibiting increased water intake, increased urination, increased appetite and reduced ability to gain weight.

We always change glargine by small increments. I don’t give out dosing instructions to a client or patient I have never seen so I would agree that your veterinarian should decide on the new dosage to try.

All the best,

Dr. Clayton Greenway
