I spent quite a while last night reading and realized that the protocol my vet, Dr N uses for glucose curve testing is not advised, and can result in inaccurate readings. I'll explain more later.
I called the clinic this morning and discussed this with Dr C who disagrees with Dr N's method and agrees with the vet that writes the newsletters. So, I changed the test to Saturday so Dr C can do it. I also got my glucometer today and will take it so he can show me how to test at home.
So please send some good thoughts to Meika Saturday, as she will be at the vet's for 9 hours tomorrow getting poked hourly to test glucose levels. She gets very nervous at the vet's and shakes and pants a lot, and unfortunately stress increases her glucose levels. It will be better when I can test at home. Wish I could stay with her all day and calm her down. |
Good thoughts going out for Meika during her test - may it go smoothly and easily!!! Hugs!
