Poor Saoirse - I'm just shaking with irritation at all the SCREWED UP comments from vets!
Oho...here's mine - many of you already remember this from another thread: 1. You don't need to change her food. 2. Inject twice a day (nothing was...
That's exactly my feeling, too. Litter box habits and drinking more water are my litmus test, so to speak.
Wonderful! I'm testing Abby once a day...then I'll go to maybe twice a week. I'd gotten so used to testing her that it feels weird not to!
Yes! She's like a whole new kitty; she actually plays like a kitten! :)
I haven't given her insulin for about a week now...her numbers are looking good, and her BG is progressively lower in the mornings. Crossing my...
Thank you - I'll work on getting numbers transferred to the template!
Spreadsheet added, @Critter Mom! Thanks @Chris & China and @BJM!
You're a sweetheart for saying so. Her head is going to get pretty big! ;D
Sure...if I can figure it out. :D It looks like most folks here have them on Google Drive, so I'll tinker around a bit!
This. She didn't even have the grace to look sheepish after I said that. Argh.
That's wonderful! I'm going to start interviewing a few local vets next week!
Absolutely agree that this board is incredible. When I was in that shocked fog that I'm sure we all experienced after diagnosis, I started lurking...
I'm only adjusting the dose when I have to leave for work in the AM. For example, if her bg is 100 after eating, she's not getting a shot. But if...
Aw, thank you for taking the time for such a thorough reply. :) I hadn't considered the challenge-the-authority position, actually, but it certainly...
Thank you! Her diagnosis made me sit up and take care of my own diabetes better, too.
See, I'd hoped that my vet would be glad I was taking control of Abby's health. How fortunate you are to have a caring vet!
And pre-diagnosis, I couldn't believe how much litter I was buying because she'd create mini-lakes in her box! :P
I cannot understand why she wouldn't want me to test her. Boggles my mind. She was more "tsk-tsk" at me because I didn't follow her directions. *sigh*
Today was Abby's three-week checkup, where her fructosamines were to be tested. I had been a diligent bg tester since Dx, and was pretty proud of the...
