INSULIN & MEDICATIONS
{{medications_list}}

DAILY MANAGEMENT
• Give insulin AT THE SAME TIMES every day, immediately AFTER {{pet.name}} has eaten the meal we discussed.
• Always store insulin in the fridge; roll the vial gently before drawing up — do NOT shake.
• Use a fresh needle every time.
• Feed the prescribed diet ONLY — no table scraps, no treats unless they are diabetic-safe.

GLUCOSE MONITORING
• Watch for signs of LOW blood sugar (weakness, wobbliness, drooling, seizure). If you see any: rub honey or syrup on the gums and call the clinic immediately.
• Watch for signs of HIGH blood sugar (excess thirst, excess urination, weight loss). Call the clinic if these return.
• Keep a simple log of meals, insulin dose, and any signs noted.

CALL US RIGHT AWAY IF
• {{pet.name}} refuses food (do NOT give insulin on an empty stomach without checking with us)
• Any vomiting, diarrhoea, weakness, or collapse
• Sudden change in behaviour, drinking, or urination

FOLLOW-UP
