Lacey Boots update

[laceyboots1000]

Lacey Boots is now 1 month OTJ. Doing well. I had taken her to the vet twice in the last month to have her bg checked and have the vet look her over and the first time I took her, her bg was 107 and the second time it was 122. They also did something called a fructosamine. Have any of you heard of this? The result came back showing that she is in good regulation of her diabetes. So I am to just keep with the diet I have her on and they told me that I don't need to bring her back until November. I will probably take her in a month just to make sure everything is okay still. I DO have the home testing paraphanalia if she starts acting strange. But so far she is doing great. Attached is her photo after having her groomed for the summer. :mrgreen:

What a lovely kitty! And congratulations on the one-month OTJ anniversary!

The fructosamine test tells you the average BG level over a 2-4 week period. It is a good tool for diagnosing FD. If you have home tested, I would suggest that you continue to home test, say once a day (at different times) for a month, then once every other day for another month, then once a week, then once a month or whenever you feel like it after that.

You will save yourself money going to the vet all the time and certainly save on a fructosamine test which isn't necessary if you home test.

congrats on your otj.
