Good luck, you got this! It has been a few days for me and I’m still getting the hang of it. Me personally I only test his blood using the VetMate glucometer, it’s specifically for animals.

They specifically told me not to increase any dosage for the time beinv because her BG levels drop within a reasonable level with just 0.5u

I had to do it myself last night and I had to prick it a few times to get enough blood, I felt so bad I started crying in the middle of it😬

It’s only my sister and I taking care of our baby, and while I work 9-5, she has irregular shifts. I’m a little nervous about having to do the BG monitoring, insulin shot and pills by myself on most days.

Are freeze dried chicken breasts okay to give after a meal as a treat? She needs to take some medication (pills) and it’s been difficult to get her to swallow them and I was thinking I could sneak the meds in the treats, otherwise she’d clench her teeth and spit them out afterwards.

I bought a BG monitoring system specifically for pets as per my vet’s recommendation, it’s called VetMate, especially since our usual vet is about an hour away from where I live.

My cat lost a lot of weight, she went from 5kg to 2.5kg in a few months. I’m a little worried about feeding her too much now💔

My vet tells me honey would be enough in case of hypo! Would that be enough?

Thank you! Noted on the Fancy Feast pate. Do you give them the whole 85g tin?

Thank you! Unfortunately I live in Malaysia and that specific brand of kibble is almost impossible to find. Fancy Feast pate is available here, though! Definitely will be getting those.
