Yesterday's post

Hey everyone. Thank you so much to those that commented on yesterday's condo. I'm so grateful for FDMB and all the wonderful kitty parents here.

Today's looking better numbers-wise. In terms of testing, I'm still freehanding but i make sure i'm really quick with the poke instead of taking my time. He's barely noticed I've done it the last 2 times which has been so good!

I'm really really hoping we can get some blues soon. But I have a feeling another increase is on the cards. Normally, I would have increased today but there was a day where we were out and could test in between AMPS and PMPS.

Thoughts?
 
Katy, I started home BG testing after a lot of hesitation on October 11 and only in the last few days have I felt I got it after exploring every option and watching a ton of YouTube videos! In the end, learning how to properly use a lancing device saved me, but that's the way that is working out best for us, I know it's not for everyone. I've gotten frustrated to the brink of tears more than once, feeling like I was a bad cat mom, but I kept at it because I know I have no other choice if I want Ruby to be well. Patience with the process and ourselves is the only way. You're doing great! :bighug:
 
Thanks everyone :)

I will up him to 4.25 tomorrow morning. I will run out and get some digital calipers (I still haven't bought any...) just so I know my partner and I will be consistent.

I think I will continue freehanding it but change my technique. Make sure I poke him as fast as possible so he doesn't realise. If this doesn't work out, then I will look into getting a suitable lancing device :)

:bighug:
 
That was my problem with freehanding. I don't think I could ever poke fast enough. Congrats on those two successful tests. Each one is a small victory. :)
