I am interested in what others think of a business idea. I am retired and looking for a business that involves an area of interest to me.
Idea: Offer service to vets and their patients to meet with new parents of diab dogs and show them how to test and meaning of result, be with them for support the first time they test, make video showing testing in various areas of body and when to shave, keep good meters in stock so they can purchase a meter immediately, discuss reasons for particular kind of insulin prescribed, give list of valuable web sites such as this one, teach about 2 hour curve and when to do one, when to call vet, what to do for hypoglycemia and signs, any other info vet wants them to have. Some of better dog foods and amount (type recommended and probably sold by vet.) Importance of weight loss or gain. Effects of infection and medications.
In other words a lesson on all the things I've learned even though my vet did not tell me. This could be organized in a notebook to leave with family after I've gone over it with them.
This could also be done in a lecture format at vets office for more than one family at a time.
A vet in my vet's office told me recently that only one in ten of her patients did home testing and she was very impressed that I did and said, "it makes my job a lot easier."
I would charge a fee for this service (to be determined but affordable).
There are many vets in my area, Nashville Tn. I could also market to people by leaving info about how to recognize symptoms and choose a vet and include a description of my services.
What do you think? Anyone could eventually get all this info but it would give it to them immediately along with access to meter and support and encouragement in using it.
If you think this is a good idea and would like to use it you are welcome.
