[quote user="Isobel Dorr"] Do you have any particular issues with the glargine?[/quote] Nope :) Just wondering how frequently it's used as it's my first experience of it. It's pretty great now we've found the right dose. He's a fun case due to all his complications. He's luckily a very well behaved, chilled out cat which makes life a lot easier.

yep we often use Glargine, very good (although used off cascade) longer acting, less dramatic peaks/troughs

Hi, my cat has been on glargine since 2013. She has been a very difficult case to stabilise and she was switched to glargine from caninsulin to provide a more stable and less peak & trough blood glucose level. Do you have any particular issues with the glargine? The RVC diabetic remission clinic are well worth contacting, as they offer a lot of support & advice to practices and owners.
