Panther was diagnosed of diabetes on January 13, 2005. His bg was 459 mg/dl. Prior to his diagnosis, I noticed that Panther wasn't as playful as before but I attributed his behavior to his age. I noticed that he was drinking lots of water but I thought it was normal because he eats dry food. I was free-feeding him dry food and wet food before his diagnosis. For the the first three months (February - April 2005), I was injecting him Humulin U. My gripe with this insulin is it doesn't offer long duration. Panther's nadir is at +6, then his BG would climb back to his PS at +7. 10:00 AM 271 MG/DL
