If I eat a couple crackers before my gestational diabetes test, will that mess it up?
Posted by admin on Sep 6, 2009
I’m taking the gestational diabetes test today for my baby and I wasn’t allowed to eat anything for 12 hours before the test and I can’t eat anything until after they’ve taken blood 3 times in 3 hours, so I won’t get to eat a thing until 1:30 this afternoon! That’s 16 hours without food and I’m starving already! Seriously, if i nibble a couple Ritz crackers, will that mess up the test results? I can’t take it anymore!
Yes, you’re not supposed to eat anything at all because food will affect your blood sugar level.
I know it stinks. I got so hungry and weak and ill feeling the morning of my test because of going without food that long. I had a snack in my purse, though, that I scarfed down as soon as the test was done!
It is just something you have to go through, unfortunately. Hang in there!

ways to prevent hypoglycemia in chihuahua puppies?
Posted by admin on Sep 3, 2009
I’ll be getting a chihuahua puppy soon and I’ve heard a lot about hypoglycemia in the breed. Does feeding it a quality dog food every few hours (or free-feeding) generally prevent this or would I really have to give him a little something with sugar in it a few times a day? Also, how about during bedtime? how many hours can the breed comfortably go without food during the night?
the reason y certain small breeds get hypoglycemia is due to stress caused from change of environment, over-activity, diahrrae, vomiting, dehydration, not eating the puppy food. before you get your puppy you should go to your local pet store and get what is called Nutra-Cal. its a paste supplement. if your puppy is not eating you should mix this in its food. or if it is eating you can put some on ur finger & the pup will lick it off. just for a couple of or a week or so, just let ur puppy become familar with its new surroundings. don’t over play with it, or give it too many treats. just stick with the puppy food @ first and if after a few days all is going well, start introducing some treats, no rawhide tho, as ur little one can choke (it has happened to my chi & he had to b rushed to the vet, very scarey). as for the food you should wet it with warm water, let it sit for a minute so it gets soft, drain it from the water, mix it nutra-cal & feed. if ur puppy happens to get diahrae you can cook up some plain chicken & rice & feed that to ur pup. the chicken for flavor & the rice for binding the pups stool. with the chis being so small they cant hold their pee & poop very long. during the day u should take the puppy out every hour or so, after a nap, eating, & play time. if u crate the pup shouldnt b in there no more than 2 hours or so. u dont want to give it a bladder infection. and u should take the pup outside @ least once in the middle of the nite, especially if its whining. as for food, if you want to leave food out 24hrs that fine, just understand that dog will have to go potty more often. i dont recommend giving honey or syrup as this can cause exfixiation (suffoicating). rubbing it on the gums would b fine as long as its a small amount. just make sure the pup is eating normally. if it wont take the puppy food, cook chicken & feed it that.
