Yesterday: ? - 11/16 WTH???Millie/AMPS 294/+2 234/+4 214/+6 224/+8 201/+10 217/PMPS 228/+2 204/+4 131/+5 122 | Feline Diabetes Message Board - FDMB
Shifting timing of snacks forward to start 2 hours after AMPS and PMPS, to try to mitigate night time lows and pre-shot (especially AM) highs.
Evidently, I am a compulsive tester. To think that I thought the insulin was going to be the major expense. Yikes, it's the test strips.
I ate something yesterday (quick salad with just romaine and dressing) that made me really sick for the rest of the day, last night and most of the day today. A gap in testing is because I was in bed. Anyway, when I gave Millie her shot this morning, I wasn't in best form. I thought I gave a solid shot but, when I ruffled my hand through her fur, I smelled glargine on my hand. The new syringes I ordered, because my Wal Mart is always out of the U100, thin with the half dose markings and short needle, have a little bit longer needle and I may have gone through. It's so hard to tell, as those needles are so fine. I think the numbers bear that out. Ugh. I hope Millie survives me...she has this down.
