Duchess is gonna LOVE this

[cjsmith]

Duchess went in for a glucose curve on Monday. After hours I got a call from the head vet tech: "Dr. Griscom is holding her head in her hands and doesn't know what to make of this." The next day I got a call from Dr. Griscom: "Dr. White doesn't know what to make of this either." It seems that her blood glucose levels throughout the day started too high, ended way too low, did not form a curve, and showed no signs that they would bottom out.

I am now the proud owner of a new glucose meter, test strips, and lancets. (WOW those supplies are expensive.) Unlike the vet clinic, I can do a twelve-hour curve, and mine won't be distorted by the effects of the cat's panic during the morning vet trip. I'm a little surprised that I was the one to suggest this, but Dr. Griscom seemed enthusiastic once I did.

Thanks! I'm doing my best. I am SO fortunate that she's such a good-natured cat! I wouldn't even consider this if it were Jackie.
