Hi all
Gem seems to be doing ok, better than when we brought her home Friday from her week at the vet, still not so energetic but better. I decided to give home BG testing a try best I can. I'm not at home to test every hour or even 2 hours but am trying to get a bunch of samples over a few days and see what I come up with. She is currently on Lantus/glargine 3u twice a day, at about 7AM and 7PM, with her meals. She is eating all wet food, mostly Purina DM but I am working in some grain free high quality cans as well (Merrick, Wellness etc). Here's what I have so far:
4/18 about 5:30 PM - 351 (about an hour pre-shot, about 10 hrs post-AM shot)
4/19 7:00 AM (pre-shot) - 409 (shot given at 8AM)
4/19 at both 11:30 and 12:30 - 373
These numbers don't look great to me - wouldn't you expect that noon-ish, midway number to have come down more? I know it's hard to tell from so little info, and I will keep going with the testing, but I was interested to hear any feedback anyone has on this.
Thanks so much
