Holy Hanna!!

How can you have a blood glucose of 1.9 mmol/L*  - and not be convulsing???

Just took Kitty's blood glucose and after giving only 1.5 units - she is very LOW.  Now, I have seen numbers that low on neonates....but not on adults - not any that were coherent - and not any that were able to eat.

Yet Kitty was able to scarf down 15gms of chicken.

I am wondering if she is already going into remission?

That would be great!

Meanwhile, these low blood glucose readings cause problems with work.  How do you do a glucose level and treat a hypoglycemic reaction if one is not at home?

Lucky for me, this week I work at home and then I have vacation time coming up.  I was hoping to run off to somewhere sunny, especially since the weather is getting slightly chilly here.... minus 10C and we are pretty much snowed in.

Oh well!

Today, I will be at home for the afternoon.....doing q2h blood glucoses!

I suppose I could get my groceries later.

This am - very early

so much snow! Long awaited!!!

*UPDATE #1:  After eating 15gms of chicken, one hour later, her blood glucose is 3.1 - still too low.  I gave her the remaining 15 gms of chicken, so hopefully her 2 hr post lunch glucose will be a little more than that.   Still not out of the woods!

*UPDATE #2:  2 1/2 hrs after the initial low blood glucose - it is now 5.1 mmol/L.  Not optimum, since her next dose of insulin is due in a couple hours.   I think I will go back to 1 unit bid.
