No, the link in the post wants us to sign on to your google account.

The link in your signature can be viewed.

Are they the same data?
 
From the data in the signature link, Nemo is looking good! I don't know the pet meter numbers as well as I know the human meter ranges, but those blues and greens look great.
 
Ok, then we will keep looking at the signature link to Nemo's spreadsheet.

I see that you are getting some blue numbers at the "preshot" tests. We now call the morning test the AMBG (AM blood glucose) and the evening test is the PMBG (PM blood glucose).

If you get a blue number at the AMBG or PMBG, you need to test again about 3 hours later. That is so we can see if the pancreas is producing insulin on it's own. Since you feed at those AM and PM times, the food would normally raise the BG levels. If the BG levels stay low or go lower 3-4 hours later, you know that Nemo's pancreas is working and producing on it's own. We want to make sure the pancreas is producing enough insulin to process the food he eats.

Make sense?

Every time you get a blue number, you need to test. Even using the Alphatrak, the BG numbers should be <100 consistently. If they are not, you may need to restart on the tiniest drop of Lantus insulin to let Nemo's pancreas heal a bit more.

p.s. A bit more information in your signature would be really, really helpful.
Your first name, your cats name age and sex. diagnosis date, insulin used, meter used for testing.
Having it all there saves us a bit of time when helping people.
Takes about 60 seconds for you to do that.
Go to the top right corner of the screen, click on your user name, drop down list appears, click on the word "signature", edit box appears and you will see the SS link currently. Start typing AFTER the SS link and then click on the "Save Changes" icon at the bottom of the text box. That's all there is.

Took me longer to type out the instructions on what to do than it will to have you add the data.

Would you do that for us please?
 
Done! Thanks for your help. I've rechecked blue numbers as best I could with having to go to work.
He had AM morning numbers of 103 down to 79 2 hours later, 125 down to 95 2 hours later, and 112 down to 80 3 hours later. Hope that helps!
 
Work commitments are important. So you can buy Nemo yummy cat food, treats and new toys. Plus pay the rent, utilities, and food for yourself too. :)

Don't know if you get up early, or when you get home.
Sometimes, adjusting when you get those morning and evening tests can help you see if Nemo is really OTJ.

Think about what is possible for you to do.

We all have life commitments. In fact, I need to get my car inspected, before the police pull me over for an expired inspection sticker. :rolleyes:
