OTJ Trial Day 4

Today is day #4 of Webber's 14 day trial off the insulin.  His AMBG was in the 60's and I am pretty sure that his Lantus shed is now empty and this is all him.  After talking to family and FDMB friends I have convinced myself to relax and enjoy this moment in time.  Sure Webber may not go into remission, or if he does he may go back on the insulin, but it is not the end of the world.  I have learned so much about the disease and was able to regulate him on the insulin, so it CAN be done.

I am laying here on the couch enjoying a special time with Webber.  He still loves to lay on my belly and knead while sucking on a blanket or something.    Right now he is grooming Shelby which doesn't happen that often.  So I try to enjoy their time getting along while I can as well.  Webber and Shelby are the two males of the household and are often butting heads.  Well....Webber butts heads and Shelby could care less, lol.

I have started reading other outside sources of information on Feline Diabetes.  I am still wanting to learn as much as I can about FD for my own knowledge.  And I am now going to focus on making sure that the canned food I feed all the babies has all the nutrients that they need.  Webber still has  dandruff, although it has gotten better.  I would like to see it go away, so I need to make sure that he is getting a balanced diet.  I have some raw food in the freezer that I need to try feeding again. 

I guess I don't have much to say right now.  I am thankful for where we are today with Webber and his disease.  He is doing very very well and currently off the insulin with BG levels within the normal range.  His BG has been in the normal range for the last 14 days.  Some say that every minute that the cat can stay in the normal range is time for the pancreas to heal.  I say "Heal baby heal!!"  I am still very emotional about the whole thing and find myself just hugging my little Webber and telling him how much I love him.

His birthday is next month and he will be 5 years old.
