I used to have the same problem with the Prime meter. I would scoop the blood droplet onto my thumbnail and then load it onto the strip.
I'm so sorry. I lost my sugar kitty to cancer in December. It's hard not to feel guilty, even when you know you did everything you could. Be kind to...
I have a great vet in Corvallis, but that's probably too much of a drive for you.
Welcome! Lots of people use human glucometers. I'm in the US, so I'm not familiar with which models are available in Canada. Someone else will be...
Welcome! Tell us more about yourself and your kitty.
Those are the syringes that I used with Cleo. They were so much easier to use and I don't think she felt the injections at all. Maybe you could offer...
If it were my cat, I think I would skip the shot. Cleo only ever had one hypo episode but it was one too many. That made me very cautious and I...
I knew Cleo had cancer and I was still blindsided. I left for work that morning and she seemed fine. She demanded her morning treats + insulin and...
I am so sorry. No one could have done more for her than you did.
Here's my new thread about Halley: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/introducing-halley.208140/
I think I want to start a new thread, just for the new kitty. Maybe in Community & Off Topic, since she is not a sugar kitty. Would that be a good...
I've been in contact with the foster mom. I am off work next week and the following, so we're trying to work out a time for me to come down. She...
I'VE BEEN APPROVED FOR ADOPTION!!! Sorry for shouting. I'm so excited!
Well, I've submitted an application for the rescue kitty. They said to expect a decision by the end of the week. I am off work for two weeks over...
I feel awful about losing Cleo, but it's a far worse thing for an older kitty to lose her bean. I hope I can give that kitty a happy life, because...
Well, I may be out of my mind, but I'm thinking of adoption. I found out about a 16-year-old Maine coon mix at a rescue near me. Her owner passed...
Years ago I had a kitty that I loved more than life. I held onto him too long. I was young and I thought he and I were both immortal, I guess. It's...
My greatest fear was that she would linger for months and I'd have to make a decision about whether it was time. Then I'd be second guessing that. I...
This day has been horrible! I had just got back from lunch when there was a bomb threat at work. They sent us all home. Then, when I got here, Cleo...
It's over. She was euthanized at 6 pm today.
