Thanks to everyone's you tube videos (which I'm sure is mainly FDMD members!!) I tried today for the first time to check Sabu's bg at home & it was a success!! I drew from the ear & purr-ito'd him...his bg was 135 an hour after his night insulin shot. I also started him on Xobine for his neuropathy *crosses fingers*
My question--if there's a link I should be aware of can you share?
I left out his insulin yesterday morn by accident (Lantus Solostar pen) and hubby found it on the dresser when he looked for it to give Sabu his nightly shot. The vet said that it may not be effective anymore but to give it to him anyway and see what happens. So last night & today we used the same pen, and his bg was 135 when I got the chance to test him today...How can I tell if it's still effective? His bg is lower than the last time I took him to the vet (2 weeks ago) it was 150.
Problem is, I work 10 hour days, so I give him his 7am shot & leave for work, I'm not home until 7ish depending on when I am done my job so I can't test him when I am *supposed* too.
Is there a time frame routine I can get into that I can get an idea of how he's doing even if I can't check him during the day?
Sorry for rambling, this is all new to me.
Thanks!!
