What do I do?????????
So Skye has been on Novolin for a week now. She is doing so awesome, with pretty consistent numbers of 180-260. I have been pretty happy with her numbers and finally feel like we are getting...

It just takes a while to get it all evened out. I am sure the kidneys will be fine. I may have missed a post or something as to why you were concerned about them, sending good thoughts, all will be...

Kathi- This diabeties stuff all came to light when Skye got a urinary tract infection. It went up into her kidneys, and her numbers were scary high. To be quite honest I am not sure how she...

Some dogs when they are first dignosed with diabetes have what we call a honeymoon phase. This means that the dog can produce some of it own insulin. This doesn't last to long and I was thinking of...

The changes in numbers aren't to big of a swing, I would say she stayed pretty steady all day, even with the 40bg drop, sometimes changes in numbers can be a mystery, if she got excited, that can...

No worries Kathi, Skye is getting insulin 2 x a day. She defiently is a dog that makes no sense. Even the vet has said that before. She marches to her own drum beat for sure.

Awww, little Skye, someone needs to tell her that her drummer is retiring!Let us know how today goes, reading wise that is.
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
I think the answer to your question at the end of your post is simple. She started the day high at 560, stayed there all day in the upper 500 range (or higher) because of no insulin. There is strong...

She gets fed at 7am and 7pm, insulin at 7:30am and 7:30pm. Both times she came in low were only noticed because it was time to test. She has NO symptoms of being low....at least not any that we were...

How is Skye doing today? Did you start the 10 units today?Keep in mind, when you got that 50 reading, it might not have been accurate. The reason I say this is because most meters are off in the low...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
Thanks for asking Cindy. Skye had pretty good day, and yep we started the 10 units today. The endocrinologist warned me that her numbers are going to be crap for the first few days 1. because of the...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
Okay, I was hoping you had it calibrated. That's great. Sometimes we forget things. So, wasn't sure we had mentioned it.Well, it will probably take the rest of the week to see how this 10 units is...

Okay....I think we should just meet at the ON/MB boarder and get Skye & Buddy together and get them to work this stuff out!!! Your house is not the only one is turmoil.... Ahhhh the joys. You know...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
Just wanted to make sure- you had your meter calibrated to the vet's meter or the vet's lab test? For the lab test, they draw the blood from the vein and run it to the lab...takes a little longer to...

Right then! Duh! I just saw that I missed that in your post anyway. You're very lucky with meters then. I've had at least 4 meters over the years and none of them matched up with my vet's -meter...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
I have to add 10 to match thier meter one, but the one i use matches thier blood lab perfectly. Skye had her blood work done today for her renal profile. Here's hoping that it comes back happy!!!!!!!!...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
That is really cool that you have one that actually matches the labs. I don't think I know anyone that has had that. How is she doing today Is she peeing more than normal? Several here homecook,...

Umm, I havent noticed her peeing more than normal....should I???? I get her results back tomorrow! I am nervous about it...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
NO! It's just that when Nash is running high, he pees more than normal. And NO, that isn't good. Drives me crazy, and it's means he has sugar spilling over into his urine.Glad the reports will be...
View ArticleRe: What do I do?????????
My meter would match the lab at certain intervals, depending on what her BG was. If Mandy was in the 350's, then my Meter was about 30 high, if Mandy was in the 250's, my meter would match the labs,...
