Hi. Well I have posted a couple of times on this forum and I am just amazed at how you guys just know your stuff. Now I am not at exactly a newbie with medical stuff cause I have worked in the industry since 1987 and I currently work at cancer comprehensive care hospital in NYC for almost 12 years, but this whole feline diabetes stuff has me completely stumped.

In short, my Tommy was diagnosed just over 8 days ago and he has been on wet cat food only since right after Christmas when we started noticing his drinking/urine habits had changed dramatically. We are about to start on insulin and I am looking at looking at all the stats that you keep for your sugar kitties and I am so totally confused as to how to use/read numbers and info on them. I also want to keep stats on Tommy so that me boyfriend can keep track of his progress and how to proceed. Can someone explain the sheets and how use them?

Thank you for your help! Noemi
 
Hi guys and welcome to the board!

We use a spreadsheet that you can actually download right off this site (well, once someone lists the link, as my husband set up ours!)

The way the spreadsheets read is like this ..

AMPS (A.M., pre shot)
+1 (one hour after shot)
+2 (two hours after shot)
+3 (three hours after shot) etc.,
PMPS (P.M. pre shot)
+1, etc, etc.

Does this make sense? I hope so!
