Treating Diabetes

One of my resolutions this year was to keep better track of Nimbus and his trends. See, just as important, if not more important, than knowing where his glucose reading is before each shot is knowing how he will probably go tomorrow. You wouldn't increase a shot in the afternoon if you knew he'd likely drop a bit in the morning, because doing so could cause him to drop TOO much. So this is what is going on my PC right now:

That's his actual chart, where I keep track of how much he gets as well as where he is. (Obviously you're going to have to biggify if you actually want to see the numbers. And the one gap in there, typo on my part. Fixed it!)
But this makes it easier to see:
January:

February:

March:
I am so glad I have done this. It really helps me to see his spikes so much better. This indeed will be something eventually shared with the vet. She already gets a copy of his chart, but I think the graphs help too. He definitely has made a lot of progress lately as you can tell by the end of last month's chart, when the infection finally started dwindling out. *knock on wood* hope it continues!
