For now I'm treating her here, with help from the Feline Diabetes group. At 5 she will get her insulin shot, which should raise her numbers. If it doesn't, then the emergency vet. I'm holding off on the vet for 2 reasons...one is that I have no money. Nothing. My bank account is $5 in the hole and I have no savings. My husband has about $200, and that's all. No savings, either. Not a fun way to live. Sure wish we would have been wiser about $ when we were younger. Both of our families were alive in case of money emergencies, but now they're almost all dead. We were short-sighted.


The other reason, though, is because Sidney will be so stressed by a trip to the vet (which is 15 miles away) that the stress and upset in itself can cause more problems (glucose fluctuations). She's so trusting of me, and I of her...I keep testing her every 25 minutes and counting the moments until 5 p.m.
