Just wondering if you grabbed a +1 test and/or whether you gave food?

He ate quite a bit at 9:30 after his shot And his poor ears are a wreck so I did not check at +1 He goes up at +1 & +2 In the past he was always Higher so I stopped checking at those times.
He nearly always drops at +4 & +5.
I gave him only small amounts of raw meat during the night. I wonder if the lower #'s are because of the raw meat or just because his body adjusted.
Right now I'm relieved his BG is down. I'd rather see Green but These numbers look great compared to the last 2 days!
His right ear has stopped giving even a drop of blood. And the left one is just over used. I do all the things I'm supposed to, his ear is just being poked too much. It really needs a rest to heal.
He runs & hides when I get the test stuff out!
I sure hope today he just stays in the middle NO BIG drops!

Well that gave me BIG TEARS! These beautiful animals are here for such a short time (even 20 years isn't enough).Yes. When he was 14 to 16, I prayed he would make it to 18. When he got closer to 18, I prayed he would make it to 20 or his early 20s. He passed away while I was away at workBig Tears! just a couple of weeks after his Birthday.
And I wanted so bad to take the day off the day of his 20th Birthday, but could not. He lived a great life. He walked on a leash and we went for long walks before work and after work. That helped him with his arthritis (and probably mine too), and later when the pain meds caused constipation the (then shorter) walks helped him in the poo department, I think.
Because he was diabetic, I could not leave him at home, so he flew with me from NJ to CA and back once a year to visit my Dad, for 8 years. He didn't go the last year because I felt it would be too much stress for J.D. My Dad just passed away a couple of weeks ago, on June 12th. More Big Tears!
The day before J.D. passed away, my neighbor stopped us outside to say how great J.D. looked, and asked his age and I said he was 20. She said her cats that lived to be 18 or less were lethargic and skinny and laid in their beds all day. J.D. liked his walks, and loved and trusted me. My vet still mentions how great of a cat he was. He also loved Buddy the cat who "raised" him, and Ginger, my other cat who he "raised", and I have many many photos of them snuggling together or bathing each other. He had a very good life, diabetes and all.
