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.
Wonderful suggestion, I'll go back for the blood glucose check on Monday. Let's get this show on the road!
