Spontaneous Remission: T + 1 Week
Junior went back to the vet this morning for a follow up - he's been eating "normal" food all week, as much as he wants, and no insulin shots.
His blood glucose was normal.
So we'll leave him on this diet for another week and bring him back for one more checkup before we consider ourselves out of the twice-daily insulin injections business.
Even if it works out, we'll have to watch him for the rest of his life - he's running on borrowed insulin, so to speak, and his pancreas could give out (again) at any time.
But still, not being tied to the house at 12 hour intervals is awesome. I'd almost forgotten how much freedom and flexibility we'd given up. We're going to a BBQ at a friends place on Sunday that starts at 1, and we don't need to be home by 8 to "dose the cat."
Huzzah.
