I will try and get a reading to everyone on Jake on Thursday with this new insulin hike and the insulin IS......Novolin N...from Walmart. He is registering glucose of HI (off the meter) in the morning . My question. Would you increase it ONE WHOLE unit or should increase be half units to be sure of no hypoglycemic incident with too much too fast. One more question to all who are regulated. Do any of you check with glucose strips and if your yorkies are regulated what is the reading as my vet said that THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE GLUCOSE IN URINE. No Ketones BUT glucose reading should show sugar he said. SO SO many thanks to all! Using 30 gage needle...is 31 smaller? Norma Jean
Yes, 31 gauge are smaller and may be more comfortable for your Jake.
I would not ask or expect anyone here to be able to give you dosing advise.. You should def be working with your vet on that.
