After his startlingly low blood-glucose number of early yesterday, Neville’s numbers began to climb. I gave him a touch of corn syrup, and by early evening, he had doubled his digits, though he was still not out of the worrying zone, which shows how low he was.
As of this morning, though, Neville was just above the normal range for blood-sugars, so he is out of danger. I suspect that his numbers will climb until they reach the far too high level at which they usually sit. That is only a little better than far too low numbers; he can live with the higher - he has for some time now - but it is not good for him.
Nonetheless, Nev is eating, he is a little steadier on his feet, and I can see that he is feeling improved. This won’t save him from a trip to the hospital this week, however. It’s time for a check-up, and I will request a fructosamine test, similar to what Indigo is periodically given, to determine the course of his diabetes over the past couple of weeks. Maybe this will help find some answers to this latest mystery from my cats.
Oh, I'm glad his numbers are back up; they must have been very low, indeed. I'll be thinking good thoughts for him, hoping the vet visit will be okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are feeling a bit of relief at the moment. Sweet Neville. Testing this week may really help in the course of treatment. Best of luck with this and look forward to seeing how it comes out.
ReplyDeletePhew, glad part of his issue was helped, so that he feels a bit more like himself, now.
