One more question on testing glucose: I was told by my vet that when I give the sub-q fluids and sometimes she bleeds from the spot after, I can use that blood for the testing. I tried that this morning and it read 162. It hadn't been that low since all this started. I did just give her the insulin about 1 hour before. Doesn't that dilute the sample? Can I really use blood for testing like that?
