Hello, we have been in remission for months. Ben has been happy and healthy and 2 friends moved into the tree outside our window, Mr & Mrs Squirrely. I had been checking BG occasionally with it staying below 120. I started having more time between BG checks, still being in the normal range. At some point I had pretty much forgotten about Ben's diabetes.
All of a sudden I noticed Ben had gotten larger and seemed not quite himself. It's been about 5-6 months w/o insulin. This weekend I realized I better check his B/G.
Sure enough it was sky high at 365. The next one +2 was 311 +12 was 501 OMG I gave him 2 units since it was so high. Then I kept getting error reading on HiM on my meter, testing me it was working. It must have been too much blood on the strip. I had to breathe and wait. +7 it worked he was 260. Shot 2 units. +2 was 187. I think this is right since BG is coming down but not too low.
Now AMPS 398 shot 2 units. Here we go again. Oh well, I have enough glargine in the fridge that's working and 200 test strips. And I am much calmer this round and educated thanks to this wonderful site and much research.
I have not started spreadsheet yet but will do that soon, relying on bg meter for now. I have an alarm set for every 4 hours to check bg and give insulin.
For me, I was adopted and had no idea my DNA dad was Native American until my DNA revealed it. I recently got his death certificate which indicated he was of The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa of Montana. They got fed recognition Dec 2019, 6 years after his passing. I'm working to find out if his name is on any of my paperwork. If it is I am going to register, as I am the last generation able to register with 1/8, 12.5% Chippewa, we are Métis from Red River in Canada. I just have a need to scream this to the moon and back. So, let your kitties know where they're from
