Re: Help with Mochi
Insulin doses, for humans and dogs, shouldn't be changed based on one number. That's one of the first rules of diabetes. Numbers over a period of time is your basis.
Diabetes is not like a machine with the same numbers every day. There will be a low now and then, but no need to panic. If I panicked every time my own sugar went low, I'd be changing doses a few times a week.
Riley's had 3 or 4 readings of 5.7 (100) in the last few days, I welcome that. My vet told me blood sugar like that, as low as 4.0, is normal for non diabetics.
If it's his morning fasting, I prepare his food as normal. If it's later in the day, maybe after his walk, I give him 3 or 4 small pieces of dehydrated sweet potato until supper.
