Today we got to go for a hike! But first we started the day with John's breakfast burritos
We dropped Ozy at the vet for part of the day and off we went. I gave them directions for how we handle his glucose since he is unpredictable.
********************
feed 1oz of low carb at noon; if he is still hungry, feed again at 1 pm | ||||||
test at noon | ||||||
if over 100, test again in 3 hrs at 3 pm | ||||||
if between 70 and 99, test again in 2 hours at 2 pm; | ||||||
if between 55 and 70, test again in 1 hour at 1 pm | ||||||
if below 55, follow low glucose directions | ||||||
if he goes low, you need to retest him every 30 minutes until his glucose is stable/rising | ||||||
low glucose directions (glucose below 55) | ||||||
feed 1 oz medium carb | ||||||
if glucose below 40, also syringe feed .5 tsp (2.5 ml) maple syrup | ||||||
test every 30 minutes until glucose has reached 60 | ||||||
if glucose does not rise or drops, repeat low glucose directions | ||||||
Please record his blood glucose readings and the time on this sheet. |

It was wonderful to be out and know he was safe. The air smelled sweet and the light was lovely. We hiked to Wahkeena Spring where we hung out for a while.
The lollipop had a pretty good stream running through the trail.
