Oh, Anne, what a wonderful story about CoCo! I went and looked at her and she is beautiful! The gentleman who paid the money for her surgery is surely an angel! It restores my faith in humanity!
If you check out www.petdiabetes.org, they have lots of resources and information about home testing.
I use a pen-type device with the lancet inside and just quickly pop Tommy's ear. He tolerates it pretty well. The new monitors require very little blood. For a while I was just spot checking him and every couple of weeks doing a curve. When I started to get low readings, I started to test before every injection and that's what a lot of folks on the pet diabetes list do.
I pray that CoCo can tolerate it because it is such a tremendous help in trying to keep them stable.
She is soooo lucky to have found you! I hope those bastards who had her rot in hell. I wonder how they'll treat the kids they adopted when the fun baby part wears off? A-holes.......
