I could feel the worry in your post yesterday, sending healing vibes for you. It's a lot to be managing two diabetics, they are so blessed to have you in their corner. I don't know where Eddie is headed, but today certainly seems like a step in the right direction. Remember, he leads the dance and you follow along I guess!! :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

At least Eddie visited the yellow zone today and has stayed pretty much not in red but in magenta, so that helps a little.

That dance, though: sometimes we tango (the two of us) and then at other times Eddie changes up the choreography and I'm trying to learn the steps!

Best of luck the next couple days. :bighug::bighug: Eddie, with superb timing, might bounce the time away because of the yellow.

I think he just took you up on that. PMPS 472. What a guy.

And, thanks. I'll probably post Blue's info as I'll test him tomorrow night and Wednesday when I take him to dental appointment. I'm told not to give him insulin or anything but DDAVP the morning of the procedure. I'll be driving back with him Wednesday evening and hopefully he'll want a little food. The IM vet sent this advice:

If Blue does not eat after his dental (and why should he? Probably not feeling great at that time), then you can give him 1 Unit of Glargine for your trip back. This will not make him hypoglycemic but will decrease his chances of ketone formation. Obviously bring some soft food, water, and liquid cat food with you to try in case he does like a snack. Also bring some sweet syrup in the unlikely event of hypoglycemia, to be rubbed on his gums.

If Blue eats, then it is much easier as you will dose him based on his food intake. e.g., 50% food intake of normal then give him 50% of insulin dose.

I hope all will go well for both Blue and yourself and let me know if medicine questions pop up that I may be able to answer.

Rule of thumb: HYPERglycemia is better than HYPOglycemia if a choice has to be made.

So, let us keep our fingers crossed, prayers up and all manner of things shall be well.
