Please let me know about Dragon's numbers please

[popcorn]

HI I don't know how to use the template yet and I was wondering if I can get some information on what I should do with Dragon's numbers this way.
I still haven't started given him insulin yet. Also I now check his BG levels about an hour or so after his feeding, or I give him food right after and then check again a few hours later. I was wondering am I doing this right? For I still don't quite understand what to do.

I would really appreciated the help and input I can get.

Thank you very much

Here are his numbers since I started taking his BG numbers

JULY 9,2012
645AM - 12.3/221
625PM - 13.2/237

JULY 20,2012
540AM - 7.9/142
712AM - 11.1/200
357PM - 9.9/178

To be honest I am not to sure if I did this right, for I know what is a good level for a human, but for a cat and I'm not to sure what numbers would be good in mmol/L. Please let me know if I am doing this right as well

Thank you for taking time and helping me out!!

Paula and Dragon :?

Hi Paula!
I noticed you have not received a response here, but did get one on the main board. Here is Sienne's response, in case you did not see it:

Hi, Paula.

To translate your numbers into the format we use here:
JULY 19,2012
620AM - 8.5 (FEED RIGHT AFTER) = 153
808AM - 10.2 = 194
1236PM - 10.9 = 196
903PM - 9.7 (FEED RIGHT AFTER) = 185

JULY 20,2012
540AM - 7.9 (FEED RIGHT AFTER) = 152
712AM - 11.1 (FEED RIGHT AFTER) = 200

Dragon's numbers are, for the most part, outside of the normal BG range. Normal is 50 to 120 mg/dL (or 2.8 to 6.7 mmol/L). A better way to try to determine if your cat's pancreas is working is to test right before you feed and then 2 - 3 hours after your cat eats. A A functioning pancreas will respond to food by releasing its own insulin and numbers will come down several hours after a meal.

How are things going the last few days? Are any other questions popping into your mind that we can help you with?

Are you having difficulties with the instructions for setting up a ss? Could one of us help you get it set up? Let us know! :mrgreen:

Hi I wondering, I just tested Dragon this morning at 737am and I was wondering should I give him insulin? I don't want to use the tight regulation, I want to use the relaxed regulation. His number this morning was 10.2/183. This is very urgent that I know if I should give or not give him insulin today. :?:
Please let me know soon, thank you very much
