Tori is her usual sweet cranky self today.
She is 16yo so not sure how much longer she'll last since diabetes does shorten her life expectancy. It is sometimes challenging to adjust food portion and insulin dosage/timing as the insulin she gets is a long acting protamine zinc formula (peaks about 12 hrs after admin). We had to change insulin in Sept when the brand she was initially started on was not available and it was no longer being made. I don't know if it is just changes with time and age or with the insulin change but we've now had two hypoglycemic episodes where we had not previously had any, scary all the same. If she hadn't seemed to be improving we would have gone to the emergency vet ($$$$). Fortunately a new battery for the meter was only $4.50. Sugars are upper 200's this afternoon but no surprise w/ sugar + extra food this morning. If I wake up during the night I'll probably check her just for paranoia's sake.
