Duchess is less diabetic

[cjsmith]

Blood glucose readings Sunday:

7:30 breakfast
7:50 3 units insulin
7:53 68
10:08 46
10:10 Gave more food!
10:48 44 (but no sign of lethargy or stumbling)
Gave up on curve; gave food and treats. No insulin given in the evening.

Monday:

7:15 breakfast, NO insulin
7:59 136

With readings like that, I guessed she wasn't diabetic at all any more. This could explain those episodes she's had! Her glucose could be getting very low! I brought her in to the vet this morning & they got a reading of 330. Oops. She's always higher at the clinic, but that's way up there. So the doctor says she should go down to one unit twice a day.

That's not bad. If I'm giving her insulin, I'll remember to do my own B12 injection. I forgot that this morning.

Duchess is that way too, after too many glucose curves early on. The vets have asked me to do another curve at home in a little more than a week. (Apparently it takes a while for a change in dosage to register on the glucose curve measurements. When I looked at Sunday's and Monday's data, the data I put in the post, I didn't realize there was that lag.)
