Well, I've been sounding out vets in town to see who does what, who is okay with home testing, who thinks that prescription food is the be all and end all, etc on diabetes. So far, no good. The only person I could find that even agreed on home testing was one tech at the vets office we go to now. The last vet I talked to didn't mind home testing but wanted me to have the Accutest meter for cats. He thinks human meters are not even good enough to test with. He is all in favor of doing the curves at home though. He thinks the frucostmine test is one that has it's merits. He does them very seldom though. He said he would probably not be the vet for me. I told him I just needed to find someone I could get along with. He did say if your cat won't eat the diet food, by all means feed something they will eat, like Fancy Feast or Wellness. He did say that wheat gluten was protein, okay but it's still grain! So, the DH will just have to take Sam in and deal with our vet. Whenever I go in, I will ask for a different vet, not the one I don't like. He also told me that right before a shot is the worst time to test. You know the insulin is wearing off and it's wrong to expect any kind of a good number. The best thing he said to do was to look in the litter box. If the volume of pee has gone down you are making progress. ohmygod_smile
