Hi everyone, it's me, Giovanni, and we is joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday blog hop today!
Last week me went to de v-e-t to have some follow-up bloodwork done.
Well, the next day the vet called Mama and said she thinks me is a DIABETIC KITTY! Mama said, "WHAT?!?!" The vet said my glucose came in at 324.
Mama told the vet me has NO symptoms of diabetes. So they decided to run a fructosamine test on me that would tell them what my blood glucose has been like over the past two weeks.
Mama was 99.9% sure that my high blood glucose level was because me is SO terrified at the vet, but she wanted to make sure. So, Mama waited on pins and needles for two more days because the lab was being very slow with my test.
It turns out my fructosamine was just fine!
She says me is sweet but not TOO sweet! MOL!
Mama is going to try and spot check me sometime in the next month, but the vet is planning to run another fructosamine test on me and recheck my potassium (because it was a bit low) when me goes in for my dental in September.
So today me and Mama are thankful me is not a sugar baby and that me is healthy for my dental next month.
