Well, Frank was at 235 at the vet. I filled in the home number as well (+8 after AM shot) as best I can remember. (I tested him right before getting him in the carrier and out the door, so will double check when I get home from work tonight.) She was a bit concerned that I was checking with a human meter because of the variances in results. I told her I gave him the 2.25 this morning, and told her how he spiked last night. (I think she really wanted me to wait for her to tell me the dose, but at a HI reading 3x in a row, I'm happy I increased on my own.) I'm going to price out the strips on the one the vet uses versus the alpha tracker 2 and the one I have, and see if I want to make the switch. His weight has stayed the same, and we'd like to see him at about a pound heavier, but that's ok.
If I get the pet meter, she was very willing to work with me on phone calls and dosing advice. I guess I can understand her reluctance to give official dosing advice on a meter that doesn't quite accurately track based on their standards, but I still feel better doing in home testing and adjusting, even if it's somewhat on my own without a lot of input from her.
His 235 today is a good reading, I think, all things considered. He HATES the car ride...peed in the carrier again...and I do expect him to be a bit high from the anxiety. It's better than it was last week, though, so we're moving in the right direction!
It might not seem helpful to say this but it's worked for me: once I accepted that Teasel is bouncy and will (probably) always be challenging I calmed down a lot. Not reacting to numbers much or at all has made this difficult road easier for me to travel.
