Ketone help

[KyraCat]

Hi all,

Finally got a ketone test done 30mins after insulin and it looks like, to me, it's between neg and 0.5 but I don't know what that means... Anyone?...

It looks closer to negative to me. Anything over trace means a call to the vet.

Thanks for the expert eyes Wendy. I'll try and get another in a day or two just to compare.

Hi Jemma! Good to see Kyra seems good on the ketone front... I was worried when I saw you thread title.
So did you used the ladle....?

 

[KyraCat]

I did! It went surprisingly well! He did give me a bit of a sidewards glance to begin with. Was also worried about how steady my hand was after collection

Well done! I might try your technique....

Well done! I might try your technique....

You'll have to let me know how you get on!

I see Hercs is still putting you through the ringer with those numbers - good you are getting some low ones though! Kyra teases us with low numbers for a day then insists on sitting in the pinks and yellows (with red AM and PM)
