hello!!! :bookworm::coffee:

when it comes to testing.. im finding that different parts of the ear yield about 1-15 pt or more difference or so sometimes based off where its taken.. understand its all within variance, but that does matter if trying to determine +2s as a marker for active/quiet cycles.. (tho we no longer do cuz we’ve had cycles PS lower and didnt matter haha saw green :bookworm:..) and to especially see how far things are dropping/going (this is me mostly) ~ i also like to give chicken nugget a break by moving the poke around, not the same spot all the time.. :(:cat: so is anywhere from like the top part to say the middle, lower ear ok? are some parts more accurate than others if anyone knows? other places possible to test? thinking ear is best bet..

(sometimes i hit the vein. :arghh::blackeye: use a device.. have to. i try hard not to but happens.. he gonna be ok???…)

also, would like to move the shot time ahead at night by 30 min as been doing the same time for 2 cycles prior, but its always shown to be done in the AM.. (when wanting to move shot ahead) ~~ is evening ok to do that too? if shots were the same time for 2 or more cycles prior?..

any advice/suggestions much appreciated always. :cat::bookworm::coffee:

I have had a diabetic cat before, but I tried for an hour this morning to get Kit Kat's ear to bleed enough to be able to test him. Please, if anyone knows what I can do to test Kit Kat please let me know.

:bighug: some things people do is massage the ear and try to warm it up.. assumed you tried but wanna suggest. some studies also show the paw pads are ok too ~ but idk on this cuz of hygiene/sanitation.. (paws are in litter box directly, etc) but it very well may work. maybe wipe with an alcohol pad after every time :) (???)
