Hello from San Diego.

Two weeks ago, Ziggy was diagnosed with diabetes and perhaps we caught it at the very beginning.

5 days ago we started on Purina MD and the horrible BG testing with Lantus insulin. He's doing really well and responding in such a way that we may be able to get off insulin far sooner than we expected.

We hate the ear pricking. We hate the ear pricking back to back after a BG level of 200 or less. But, I guess it'll be worth it.

So, if you're up at 5 a.m. going through the process, even on the weekends, so are we!
