		<description><![CDATA[Two months ago, Basette, my 14 year old domestic shorthair cat, was taken in to the vet because of poor coat condition, excessive water consumption and urination (in inappropriate places of course), and overall lethargic demeanor. She was diagnosed with diabetes. Her initial glucose levels were over 350 (100-150 is normal, 200 high end of [&#8230;] <a class="more-link" href="http://ceffyl.net/wordpress/basette/sugar-baby/">&#8595; Read the rest of this entry...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Basette&#8217;s condition hasn&#8217;t changed much. She is still primarily staying in the kitchen. She&#8217;s developed the sniffles (clear discharge). I&#8217;ll ask the vet about that tomorrow. She&#8217;s continuing to have trouble with motor coordination on her back legs. She doesn&#8217;t seem to be in pain (slight discomfort from her back legs possibly).

		<description><![CDATA[This past Tuesday, Basette went back to the vet for UTI test. Urine was sent off, and preliminary tests were available yesterday. No bacteria has been found so far. Further cultures will be done this weekend, and final results will be in on Monday. Apparently, sometimes insulin resistance can be caused by an infection, like [&#8230;] <a class="more-link" href="http://ceffyl.net/wordpress/basette/clavamox-glipizide-and-tuna-fish-oh-my/">&#8595; Read the rest of this entry...</a>]]></description>

Basette will go back into the vet&#8217;s on Monday next week for another round of dosing&#8230; Maybe she&#8217;ll respond this time.

However, after she recieved her insulin, her glucose levels plummeted from over 500 down to almost half that!! Woohoo! If Basette was here, I&#8217;d party. The vet was esctatic.

		<description><![CDATA[It is certainly possible that Basette&#8217;s responsiveness last night was from a cleared up infection that didn&#8217;t show up on the UTI tests. I hope so! Basette&#8217;s glucose was above 500 again this morning, so she&#8217;s going to try her on the bovine insulin (PZI) again. Another update!

Even when I picked her up and looked at her eyes in bright light, the pupils didn&#8217;t respond. She isn&#8217;t looking directly at me. She looks in my direction, but never meets my gaze, unlike my other kitties. This isn&#8217;t right.

She still seemed to be able to see where I was. She came over and sniffed my feet, purring loudly. She even followed me into the office the night before.
