Hello. Penny stopped needing insulin in November - thanks to all the advice and support from this group. I've tested her infrequently since then....
For me too, it seemed overwhelming at first. And I wasn’t very good at any of it. My friends on the fdmb were quick to respond, support and provide...
Penny’s been off insulin for a couple weeks ... hooray! She is very sensitive to the insulin; even small doses have a big impact, but without shots...
I am happy! But surprised, would have expected improvement to be more gradual.and a little afraid I hurt her with low nadirs. I wasn’t aiming that...
Hi again. Penny suddenly has low blood glucose numbers. I’d been aiming for her nadir to be near 100 but it has been in double digits for the last...

Thank for the advice, now I feed her 4 times a day, very similar to your schedule. She is MUCH happier eating more often. She's eating 9 oz/day. at...
I'm supposed to call the vet in a few weeks. She's already getting 2 units but it's only been 3 days. Penny will be glad to get a midday meal, at...
I had been feeding Penny 1 can (3 oz) Fancy Feast 3 times a day but when we started Vetsulin a few days ago, changed to 1.5 cans twice a day. I...
I am so grateful for your (and other) responses. I'm unsettled with this but I would be freaking out without the positive affirmation and sharing of...
