New here! Day 1 advice

Alex is doing well! Will check him at +4 and update! We are getting the hang of this somewhat!! He has already figured out that he gets a snack after a Bg check.. so he is more tolerant of the poke!

Oh yes. Always always give a treat after a BG test. Many people use Pure Bites freeze dried chicken pieces or just boiled chicken cubes. Y’all are doing a great job with Alex!
 
You're doing great with Alex! You've picked up a lot for somebody so early into this process!

He's also adorable by the way!

I'm glad @Suzanne & Darcy are keeping an eye on you guys, too, since her "specialty" is Prozinc, where mine is more geared towards Glargine (Lantus). Of course, I'm always available for you in the group too if you need help with something.

Alex..you be a good kitty! Your mama is trying so hard!

Thank you both!! You have both been such a huge help to us!
+4 he has gone up already to 286, so a little surprised he didn’t go down more..
I’m so new at this though, so I really don’t know what the normal trend should be and I know it’s really early and too soon to know what his norm is yet!

Chris, you are always so helpful to all of our members! Thank you. Maria really has done an amazing job of getting up to speed — faster than most new members for sure. You are very determined.

Well, we have to give him a bit more time to break this bounce. It’s so frustrating. Tell me how he seems to you today behavior-wise?
 
he seems his normal self… Super happy to get some snacks when we check him and then goes back to his usual spot on the sofa in the front window… And goes to sleep for a bit. His +6 was just 281.
