If it were my dog, I'd get her blood glucose checked on Monday without waiting for the other tests results. It only takes a drop of blood.

Unregulated diabetics can go into ketoacidosis which is very serious and can be fatal. Dogs have also been known to lose their vision in a matter of days. I don't want to scare you, but it's just such a simple blood test, it's not worth taking the risk IMO.

BTW, new diabetics often present with urinary tract infections, too.
