Working on getting Tyler Regulated--Baby Ste

Hi,

I wanted to start a separate thread, as I am working to get Tyler Moo Moo's blood sugar adjusted. I will work on getting an electronic blood sugar results spreadsheet soon (if I seem slow with everything, I am a single Mom to multiple cats and 2 little human children, working overtime this month, 2 dogs, and 7 foster kittens who should be going to their respective rescues next week--whew! Tired just tying this lol).

I will work on getting samples of the dry foods recommended on my intro post next week, or maybe online if I get a chance at work this weekend.

The vet recommended to me doesn't believe in home testing, but I may hit her up with the fact that I am starting it next week when we go in. His BS was jumping between 400-500s and 50s every other week, until the last few weeks, when it has been in the 500s. I will post it when I get a minute. We are up to 2.5 of the Lantus twice a day.

I started home testing with my new Relion a bit ago, and we are getting a system. He doesn't like the pokes, & was hissing at first, but I think we are getting better. (Thanks for the tips, the videos, etc I found here).

 

Glad you've started testing. Be sure to give treats after every poke, even if you don't get any blood. It will get easier!

 

He will learn it's a positive experience and associate it with the treats . No need to apologize G, we know people have busy lives here. If you want I can set one up (spreadsheet) for you so all you'd have to do is start putting his numbers in and enter back data as you can

 

Yong, that would be GREAT!

What kind of treats are good/safe?
