Hi everyone, Shady has been doing well- since I stopped feeding any dry on Friday, his blood sugar started steadily dropping, and he hasn't needed any insulin for 3 days. I was really excited at first but his BG has kept dropping more and more and now is quite low. Last night, 92, this morning, 88, and tonight 78, measured on the AlphaTrak meter. This is before eating, but not really fasting because he tends to graze. What worries me is it keeps dropping, and I'm afraid that something is wrong with his pancreas function that made him first hyperglycemic and is now going to go the other way and make him hypo. He still seems normal, active, eating normally (maybe a little less than usual).
What info I found online looks like he is still in the range for normal, but I think I was told here when he was still on insulin that he could be in the hypo range at 70-80 on the AT (40-50 on a human meter). I called my vet's office and they wanted me to send an email with his BG levels the last few days, diet, and any insulin given instead of just answering the yes or no question (is he too low) which was all I really wanted!
So any opinions and advice from the knowledgeable folks here is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Sheri
