It appeared Mik had cushings but we should know Monday if it's diabetes. I have read a great deal on this site, and one aspect is maintaining a firm schedule for meals and insulin. This makes sense, of course, but it will take some adjustment.
Wife had serious health problems and could not rise and get going physically until about 10 am. She had them fully trained to not eat until 11 am, and again around 6.
The diabetes has played havoc with Mik's schedule, except in the am. Wife did a fine job because neither Mik or his brother Mak will even get up before 10, and not ready to eat until 11. Their body clocks are set.
I have to be gone 3x a week from 6 am to about noon, so I come home and they are ready to eat.
But tips on this site indicate meals and insulin should be 12 hours apart. There is nothing I can do about the necessity of my morning demands, so should I try for their meals around noon and midnight? Obviously, if essential, I will find a way. But they are usually zonked by 8 or so.
But is that 12 hour guide set in stone? I could manage around noon at 10 pm, but that's 14 and 10 hours. How critical is the 12 hours?
Sorry for the long post, but i want to do this right.
many thanks to all and I"m grateful to be here.
