Thanks, Freedom. That thread is a great help to me. It is at first a shock and a lot to take in with her having diabetes. I just read the thread and your post with all the links. I will be doing a lot of reading and the boards will be a great help. Maggie is doing really good, and I've been doing the insulin shots for a week now. I do it while she is napping in her favorite chair. I start scratching her neck and then pull the scruff up and make a tent and give the shot. I take her to the Vet early today where she will be assessed and a glucose/blood test. I am going to ask how to take a blood sample and check her glucose and do some at home monitoring. Thanks again.
