I have 2 diabetic cats; the only reason they are still alive is that I do regular glucose testing every day. They adjust and get used to it the same as people. and I concur, you must do this to save your furbaby.
My dog gets 3 units of NPH daily. Just like with a human, it would be insane to give insulin without taking a blood sugar. I do a weekly glucose curve on my dog to make sure his dose is correct and that he is staying within a normal sugar level. If youre not taking your dogs blood sugar, or letting the vet do it at regular intervals, you're killing your dog. Learn it, know it, do it.
@thestringsthatjoinus why dont you reccommend this method? i recently found out that my dog is Diabetic but i dont have the means to test his sugar at the vet. my vet wants the test to be ran everyother day and its $65 a day. thats can add up pretty quick! is there another method you know of to test sugars at home?
My dog is diabetic and I would not recommend this method when preforming a blood glucose level. Please talk to YOUR vet before performing a test such as this.
No fucking kidding
