Glucose & dose log

Short answerA written record of readings and doses is one of the most useful things you can bring to a recheck: it shows the trend your vet is dosing against, not just the day you remember. Log each glucose reading and each dose - including missed ones. This log helps you spot the pattern over days; it can't tell you whether the dose is right, and dose decisions belong to your vet. Entries stay on this device, and you can print the log for appointments.

How to use it

Add an entry when you take a reading or give a dose. If your vet hasn't asked you to check glucose at home, use the log for doses and notes alone - it works fine that way. Note anything that would matter later: a refused meal, a missed dose, a wobbly moment, a diet change. Bring the printed log to rechecks; two weeks of honest entries are worth more than the best recollection.

Reading your own log

You collect the numbers; your vet reads them. Bring the trend to rechecks and let your vet say what it means for control or dosing. Day to day, a steady appetite and slowly falling water intake are usually the reassuring signs. A single high reading after a stressful day or a stolen snack is usually noise. Readings running persistently outside the range your vet gave you, missed doses stacking up, or appetite fading are signals to call the clinic - not to change the dose yourself.
