PMPS 156, second test 169

:cool::cool::cool:

My parents are suppose to show up tonight and I need to do all the cleaning i put off last night =( plus bathe gordy because he still smells like poop. :confused:
 
Oh! QUESTION!
the vet brought up two options to "assist" for the sharp drop situations, and I've never seen them mentioned here as options.... i dont know how i feel about them.
1. Steroids. He actually said he'd give me a pre-dosed steroid shot to give in emergency. I dont know how I'd feel about that and it seems odd.
2. This special paste they have thats higher in carbs, but also calories and protein. He recommends it over syrups. I can't remember the name ... i may get some if its not too expensive and see what it really does...

Hi Cass,
never heard of any but i remember well to steer clear from steroids - if possible.

will watch for the reply posts - interesting to hear what others think...

the paste for hypo numbers?..:confused: what's wrong with old good honey or gravy?..:confused:
 
+4.5=87

Fed some HC for reg snack. I know he is in normal, good numbers but I am feeling very paranoid this week.

Alarm set to get a +6. Hopefully he just surfs.

I would stay very far away from option 1. Why would that work? I guess if it were for a life or death emergency it's one thing, but why would that work? The second one, is it nutri-cal or something like that? It should work, because the first ingredient is corn syrup (Karo is corn syrup) but it has a lot of other supplements they may or may not need and I doubt the quality is that great. One of the vets recommended it to me too.
 
A big NO on the steroids. For one thing, the rate at which they are absorbed and impact the blood sugar is not so predictable. Just curious what the cost is on the special paste. Add karo to HC and you have added calories and protein. And probably cheaper.

Gordy's doing the rainbow today.
