? 05/26 RICO AMBG 72, PMBG 82 OTJ DAY 13

Congratulations on day 13 @Carol & Rico!!!

I'm so happy to see how well Rico has done since you joined the Facebook group and then came here where the best people in the world hang out and now you're almost there!!

I look forward to coming to your OTJ party!
 
Almost there! This is from the OTJ trial instructions:

Once he/she is through the trial successfully, you enter a new phase. Your cat is still diabetic but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low carb food in the manner successful for your kitty. If you decide to change his/her feeding schedule, let your meter be your guide to the best times to feed. Avoid medications with sugar in them and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood glucose weekly for the first month and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh him/her monthly. Weight should remain stable. If he/she seems "off" or sick, or is showing signs of diabetes (excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss), test his/her blood glucose right away. Keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission. If you see rising blood glucose numbers, it's time for a visit to the vet!

I've highlighted the testing suggestions.
