Thanks again. Currently I am looking into dental work on Gizmo. The estimate given was $594.00 for the low estimate (urinalysis, fructosamine,...
Thank you Rachel and Djamila. Maybe I have the wrong test. Is there another one they would do to get a precise reading of his blood sugar from his...
Thanks again. He tolerates the testing. He sits there most of the time with no trouble, other times he likes to roam a little across the desk a...
Thanks Djamila. He certainly is. I took him to the vet today. No respiratory infections. Hooray!!! He coughed up a really good hairball last...
Gizmo is at it again. BG reading 50 at +3. He really does not like this new vial of Prozinc. I wish I was off tomorrow so I could try and stick...
Thank you Djamila. I may go ahead and the u-100 syringes. I need to do something to get his numbers down. I hate that he is going backwards and...
I think Gizmo has some kind of respiratory infection going on right now. He was just laying down and he sounds kind of funny. When he is up and...
Thank you Djamila and Kris. You have both given me a lot to think about. I agree that he needs more insulin, but the little bugger won't quit...
I have this bad habit of reacting to the flat pink numbers instead of waiting a few more cycles before I increase. I think he is telling me that I...
Thanks again Kris. It seems after two months, Gizmo has decided he is going to be a lot like Teasel. I will give Prozinc a little longer. I think...
Thank you Kris. How do you handle the stress of the erratic numbers? I feel so bad for him because I have to leave him home alone during the day....
Ugh! I came home at lunch to do his BG reading and it is 53. Second test done to confirm was 55. I am so grateful that my employer is...
Good morning Rachel. Thank you. It is just so frustrating seeing the pinks numbers throughout a full cycle. I have come to accept that he runs...
Hi Everyone. I am confused by Gizmo's current high numbers especially after a dose increase this evening. As you can see in his spreadsheet, he had...
His next 30 minute testing did not move much. It was 86 which is the same as an 83. I guess I should be happy it didn't go back down. Now to wait...
Ok. Thanks again for all the advice. I will be testing him again in a few minutes.
Ok. First 30 minute test after low carb food is promising. We are at 83 right now. He is a little more tired than usual, but doing okay.
How many cycles should I hold the 1.5u before I react to high numbers? Should I wait another cycle after a cycle with higher numbers to see if it...
Thank you Djamila. Do you think the new vial had something to do with the low number? I am wondering if I should have just stayed at 1.5u. I try...
Thank you. I think I messed up by reacting and increasing him back to 1.75u tonight. I reacted to a cycle full of pink numbers, so now it is at +3...
