Way back in 2000, Maggie came down with what was transient diabetes. With a food change, she went into remission and had no problems for the remaining years of her life. The big C was another problem in late 2002.
Now, my 12 year old Blue has full blown diabetes with a starting BG of 596. So, after lurking on the board for several years I now am experiencing all the trauma that the true newly diagnosed go through. I'm using a One Touch Ultra2, and had a chance to compare it to the Alpha Trac 2 that my vet uses; 88/89 with the same sample.
As most vets seem to do, we started with 2u of ProZinc, and after 3 shots without testing, Blue almost crashed with a BG of 28. His PS numbers have remained below 300 and below 100 for a couple. I have a mid test for a couple with a 75-100. I still have a lot to learn, but it's good to see some old friends.
Bobby, and Blue Boy- the cat who came in from the cold after 9 years.
