Hey guys, I got her first meter on her 2nd day post diagnosis in the middle of a hypo crisis while DH was at home caring for her, so I just did a grab and go. I understand that it's not too fondly looked upon here, had a TrueTrack. Uses too much blood anyways, just bought a relion confirm. Truetrack says 197, relion 155. Either way that's a great number...but what do I do. Same blood sample.

Oh, and BTW... got this in my inbox, my new vet has my SS link and I guess he went on there today to see how she was doing....

"I was looking at your numbers today. It looks really good. I don't know if microdoses of insulin are helping. (They probably won't do any harm either)
Remember you are dealing with a biological organisim plus an instrument that has quite a bit of variance. (as much as +/-60mg/dl)

There are natural variations and rhytems to the blood glucose. As long as the overall trend is downwards it is all o.k. You need to look at each trend segment over an average of at least 3 days. Don't panic.

You are doing really great!"

Say What?!?
 
Re: Kitten +11 155/197 new meter, which one?

still in shock about her number and the vet!
 
Re: Kitten +11 155/197 new meter, which one?

BTW, I like the Relion better.... :mrgreen:
 
Re: Kitten +11 155 ps 252 new meter, OK to shoot 0.1?

Okay, it's food time. I'm assuming it's alright to shoot 0.1 again....anyone?

*shooting 0.1 7:45pm
 
Re: Kitten +11 155 ps 252 new meter, OK to shoot 0.1?

Looks good to me. If you like the ReliOn, use it and have the other for backup.

I don't understand what the vet is saying, but at least he is supporting you...
 
Re: Kitten +11 155 PS 252 new meter, 0.1u

Think the general gist is there is meter variance and glucose changes depending on what it going on at the moment, angry looking, at a bird, etc. Just happy I can still get meds if I need them.
 
Re: Kitten +11 155 PS 252 new meter, 0.1u

The part I don't get is that he says he is not sure the mini doses are helping. Meter variance can't account for 200s instead of 400s.......
 
Re: Kitten +11 155 PS 252 new meter, 0.1u

He's never seen a dose under 0.5 unit and thought her responses were not influenced by that little bit of insulin, but now that we tried it cold turkey and she couldn't keep it up, I have a feeling he'll be convinced pretty soon.
