Hello! I’m Kei. I just joined the group. (I already accidentally posted on the ProZinc forum…)

Mii-chan was diagnosed about 2 years ago but having trouble with insulin dosage currently.

Looking forward to being part of a group like this! Nice to meet you all!

Not home testing says
I don’t home test because BG meters in Japan are extremely unreliable and can be off by 100-200.

I can tag a member for you but without home testing there will be no way to tell how the insulin is working and how low your kitty is dropping or if it's safe to even give a shot

My replies are both over on the ProZinc Board. Don't know if we should have the whole thing merged or what? It's above my pay grade! Lol! I don't have the "power."

 

Thank you so much! I’ve filled in my signature to the best of my ability. (Sorry for not doing so earlier.)

This Amazon Global link is really helpful. I’ll look on the forums about reliable meters.
