I wanted to let you all know about a little secret I found out yesterday. I have VPI (pet insurance) and I asked if they covered test strips - they...
Can't draw it with the U40s - I tried tonight. I'll try to pick some up tomorrow, if I can't get them in the AM I will probably not shoot since I'll...
I just did another curve now that he's on wet food. What do you guys think? I would say that if I wasnt a newbie, it would be pretty good, but...
I can get the half units consistently as long as it's greater than 1, but 0.5 is impossible to draw. Definitely not sure about the dose though.
I'm clueless ...now he was 110 AMPS so I gave a token 1u. When I tested 8 hours later he was at 100. Doubt he'll make it up to 200 prior to dinner...
You guys are so awesome! Thank goodness I'm getting good at this testing thing.
Ok guys, need your brains. I reduced fluffy's dose by 1u to 1.5u because his blood sugar is hanging so close to 100 when I test. Definitely need to...
Haha - if only Mom was willing to test Fluffy - I'm not sure she ever sleeps! Thanks so much guys for the advice. Mr. Fluffy almost convinced my...
Eek! 47 and it's only +4. Hopefully this is nadir...looking like this could be a sleepless night.
And after all that the vet never called me back. Time to start looking for a better vet! Gave mr. Fluff the normal dose and will check his nadir...
Just to be clear, nadir would be like +6 or +7 hours Post PM shot? His lowest point on the curve right?
What a useless vet. He said don't shoot him. I asked, do I resume this evening - he said send the BGC and for a nominal fee of $104 I'll interpret...
I had to leave for work :/ I fed him though. Maybe I'll head home during lunch.
OMG - Fluffy's blood sugar was 102 this morning. Vet said to always shoot the last I talked to her, but I couldn't in good conscience shoot him this...
I'm taking Fluffy 's first curve today! Vet said his urine sample had a ton of glucose and likely we will have to increase his insulin after she sees...
Well the vet I saw today was willing to spend much more time with me than the guy that diagnosed Fluffy on Saturday. I told her I'd rather do the...
Just updated my spreadsheet with Fluffy's numbers. I'm getting better at testing but if I don't get blood on the first few stabs, I let it go. Don't...
I'm using the accucheck app right now, but once I get in front of my pic I'm going to transfer over to the spreadsheet. Thanks!
He's 18 lbs and his sugar was over 400 at the vet. My home tests have shown him in the low 200s, so seems like the dose is appropriate for the first...
Cosmo, aka Mr. Fluffy was diagnosed with diabetes last week and was put on 2.5 units of ProZinc 2x daily. Surprisingly, he's pretty cooperative about...
