Canine Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring AT HOME

Does your dog have diabetes? Would you like to know how to test safely and easily so that you can test your dog’s blood sugar on a more regular basis? If so, perhaps this vid will help you.

NOTE: clarification on the video. We strive to have Sassy’s Blood Sugar be between 90-150 when she is not eating and 2 hours post-meal. After meals, we test her about 30 minutes after eating and we give her an injection based on what her BS is at that time. We prefer to see her be less than 180-250 within 30 minutes post meal, but regardless we always try to match the amount of insulin we give to her based on what her blood sugar is at the time.

We have other vids on the actual insulin injection technique as well as the insulin we use for her (70/30).

PLEASE TALK TO YOUR VET BEFORE trying anything you see here.

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS you and your dog.

Lego Dimensions Buying Guide – Which Characters Do you REALLY Need?

This is a BUYING GUIDE video designed to help gamers (and parents) understand which of the characters and packs you really need to buy in order to complete the game. Did you know that only certain characters/vehicles in Lego Dimensions have specific abilities that you will need in order to collect all the items required to complete the game? If you don’t have those characters/vehicles then you can not complete all the missions. This video will help you understand which characters you might want to get in order to be able to collect everything you need to finish. We are assuming that you don’t want to spend the money to buy ALL of the characters so we’ll make suggestions on which ones to buy instead.

Please note that this is NOT a ‘gameplay’ video – if you want to see actual gameplay visit JacksonsToyBox channel to see those vids.
