Hi and welcome Lori and Maxwell. Hopefully the information, advice and input from our members and the support you will find here will enable you to help Maxwell to diabetic regulation.
In order for us to help you along the way please create a signature so that Max's information will show up whenever you post:
Setting up your signature (light grey text under a post). Here's how:
click on your name in the upper right corner of this page
click on "signature" in the menu that drops down
type the following in the box that opens: kitty's name/age/date of diabetes diagnosis/insulin you're using and dosage amount /glucose meter you're using/what he eats/any other meds or health issues he has. You can add your name, and a geographic location (sometimes the country/time zone matters) Be sure to SAVE when you are finished.
Are you testing his blood sugar at home so you know how insulin is helping him, and to be sure it's safe to inject each time? If you are not, we can help you find supplies and learn to test. If you are testing already, good for you! and we can give you the instructions to set up the spreadsheet we use here to record insulin and testing data.
Going forward, please post in the Main Health forum
HERE so that your questions and concerns will be read in a forum that more members check often in order to be of assistance. Then we can provide appropriate links and information to help you out.
Don’t hesitate to post with any questions you have!
