I have been injecting air into the pen, so perhaps that is the issue. The pharmacist advised I inject air into the *bottle* in an equal dose I was...
Here are specific questions I have if anyone cares to answer them specifically: 1) The manufacturer's instructions that come with the pens state...
Recap - Snickers had a brush with death in May 2017 with a sudden DKA episode when we were unaware she had diabetes. She has done well since then and...
Problem is, she earned an increase from 3.0 to 3.25 the day before when her nadir was in the 350's. There are quite a few other days as well that...
Snickers has been out of the ER for one month now after severe DKA episode which was our introduction to diabetes. AlphaTrak2 meter was ordered...
I do have Karo on hand as well as wet food. I'm going to post same question as new thread in Lantus group to get a bit more feedback. It confuses me...
I'm glad you mentioned SLGS. This first month has been semi-chaotic, with readings up and down and all over. I read the SLGS and TR protocols and...
Thanks for the advice everyone. I largely did the 1 hour curves as a nod to the internist -- he had asked that my regular vet do a curve with 1 hour...
Snickers has been home from the ER one month now after a severe DKA episode (we didn't know she was diabetic prior to that). I bought the AlphaTrak...

The ER vet's instruction on the Lantus was to roll it gently. One of the sticky posts here said to *not* do that. Later on in that same post, it says...

Yes, during the crisis there were a number of needs that competed with each other. Low potassium was one of them and insulin drives potassium lower,...
I was just in touch with the ER clinic. They said the purpose for the pet-tinic was primarily to provide iron for anemia. They said to go ahead and...
Regarding explanation from the Vet -- no -- there was none. It was a 24 hour emergency clinic that (by necessity) had 4 or 5 or 6 doctors looking...
Thanks Red. I'm letting that sink in for a second. If that is what is causing me (rather Snickers) that grief...I don't know what I'm going to do.
Yes, just got one about 45 minutes ago at 3:45 PM...negative. Was only able to take one BG reading today at AM+6 and it was 486. Given that she was...
No need to mix water into wet food -- she is drinking constantly -- and that is itself indicative of a problem. Yes, the presumption at the ER was...
