Hi - We are new here
Arn was diagnosed with diabetes around the end of January. When that happened it was quite a shock. I had taken him to the vet after noticing he was flooding the cat box. He was prescribed Prozinc and he got a Libre disk with a monitor for two weeks. A lot has happened in the months since then, some of which I am really not pleased with. But I am here now, things that never made sense to me have been confirmed or clarified, I am learning a lot and things are already way better then they were.
I stumbled upon the FDMB by what you might call accident, chance or divine intervention. Basically, I’d left his new bottle of Prozinc out of the fridge for hours. I had been told very pointedly if you leave it out it goes bad. I was absolutely furious with myself. He needed it and it would take at least a day to get him a new bottle. What to do in the mean time? How fast does it actually go bad? I went online and started searching to see if I could find any reasonable answers…Thank you for the posts, it was still fine and it is still working! After that, I kept reading and reading and reading. And I went to Wmart and got him a monitor and started making a list of questions.
I think we have been checking his BG for almost two weeks now, so we have some numbers. I wasn’t sure I could even do it and I never dreamed he’d be adjusting to it this well and I am so grateful for all the detailed information and so much helpful guidance people have taken the time to share here. I had some trouble signing up. My husband fixed it, hence the new user name. I am going to try to do Arn's spreadsheet today in hopes that we can get some help making sense of his numbers and how to proceed.
Thank you
