Re: What is the target blood glucose range?
I am only 2 months into this stuff with my dog. I did go out and purchase a meter from Walmart and strips. I try to test her before I give insulin. Sometimes that does not work well, but I try. I also tested my meter to the one that the vet uses and it was 30 points lower than theirs. Keeping that in mind Shana always testes between the 60 to 100 range and I have seen no episodes of low blood sugar. I really try to keep her on a 12 hour schedule and the exact amount of food, and no snack in-between. With this strict regiment I feel very successful in her management. It took almost a month to get her to the level we are right now. Keep it constant and you will have success. I test in the ear that seems to work well with her and me. Carol
