Hello all. Haven't posted in awhile (mostly lurk here), but I have a question. I recently switched to a new meter. I was using the Relion Confirm,...
Hi all...I've been absent from the board for quite awhile (busy work schedule. :( ). Joshi is my sugarcat who was diagnosed back in December of 2015....
Joshi had previously been on 3U of Vetsulin for over 2 months - the last two weeks prior to this one, he preshot numbers had been in the 200's, but...
I couldn't really get on the computer today because it's just been one of those days. In the middle of it all, Joshi's AMPS+4 BG reading was 45. Was...
About 2 hours her PMPS BG reading, Joshi threw up a hairball (a long with some food she had just scarfed down). She otherwise is acting fine, but her...
I had a chance to do a full curve today...I suspected her overall numbers were trending down just from her preshots and what testing I could fit in....
First of all, I'm quite thrilled that Joshi's pre-shot numbers are hovering in the 200's lately. However, do the math, her numbers do seem to drop...
After having a bit of potential scare last week when I gave Joshi insulin after a PMPS of 174, I'm going to play it safe this time. Joshi had a PMPS...
I tested Joshi's PMPS and her BG is at 170 (read, twice, on a Relion Confirm). She is currently on 3U of vetsilin twice a day. What I remember...
I think we may have hit upon a chunky, non-pate food that all of our cats will eat - the Purely Fancy Feast White Meat Chicken in particular. Going...
Finally, a whole day where I can actually do a real curve for Joshi rather than the "here and there" approach. What else is there to do on...
Today was grocery shopping day, so once again I was checking carb counts on various foods. Because we have a couple cats who will not touch...
I would like to try out the Young Again Zero carb dry food after reading some positive comments about it. It's going to be a really tough sell...
I must first start out by giving a hardy thank you to my sugarcat, Joshi - who put up with multiple poking today, especially since it took it seems...
I can celebrate another small victory - my first successful attempt at home BG testing! The trick that seemed to work for me - when massaging her ear...
We're trying to slowly switch all of our cats (not just our sugarcat, Joshi) over to a low-carb, DM friendly diet. It'll make feeding time less...
*Sighs* Made the second attempt at BG testing today. After several attempts, got a blood drop - yay! Got blood onto the strip, was anxious to see...
I worked up the courage to do glucose testing on Joshi (using a Relion Confirm). Did the recommended steps leading up to the ear poke - and nothing....
While doing further searching for low-carb cat food while shopping today, I managed to find an online calculator on my phone's browser for...
Yesterday, our sugarcat, Joshi, had her first follow-up visit to the vet to test her glucose. Four hours post-injection, her numbers are now down to...
