Hello All,
It has been a while and life keeps getting in the way from me writing! Anyway, I updated Oreo's spreadsheet. Originally in April of last year, Oreo was on Prednisilone. Then the manufacturer stopped making it and nobody could get it , so Oreo was put on prednisone which is not as good for his GI lymphoma. On the Prednisilone his BG was rising to the 300's. When on prednisone, his BG was in the 100's and sometimes lower! Now he is back on the prednisilone and his BG is in the high 200's. Of what they tell us, the diabetes is the lesser of the two evils and is more controllable. So we have up'ed him slowly and he is on 3.5 units twice daily and might go up a bit more.
Our vet was really impressed with the spreadsheet we have been keeping and amazed by our devotion and diligence. Originally she discouraged frequent testing! I think she has "seen the light". Thank you ...people at FDMB ,since we would have never known what to do. Best to all, Oreo and Carol
