Hello everyone
I am thrilled to find this site, there seems to be a great deal of information for the human diabetic but info is scarce for the pet. I have three dogs and all are rescues. Rascal is 11 years old and...

Hey Cindy DIN stands for drug identification number, it is usually on the box for the insulin and might be on the insulin bottle as well. It will say DIN and then the number. Glenda 12 uses the...

Thank you Cindy it turns out that Walmart has decided to not offer it to Canadians...nice ehhh. Well I am worn out with this and poor Rascal has been pricked in the mouth all day. His numbers are...

Don't get frustrated. I know...easier said than done. Been there, done THAT!Two units might be a bit too much. If I were you, I'd go one unit up, give him a break on the testing, and then in three...

Thanks Jody for the support I really appreciate it, so 11 units it is and I will start tonight. I won't test him for a few days unless he looks wild eyed that will give his mouth time to heal. He is...

I was hoping others would chime in here as well, but maybe tomorrow. I am known in these parts as being the "not very patient MOM" and at times move up in the units a bit too fast. Rascal may just...

I don't know how I missed this. Was having problems with my internet server yesterday, slow as mud and would drop me when I tried to do something. Very weird. So sorry about the Walmart insulin thing....

Very nice story Jackie, and 17 years is a great life. yes our pets do become family to us, inspite of what the dog whisperer says lol. It is hard to understand this disease and it is frustrating, but...

Jackie, I totally agree with Jody. We too had a rough go with Buddy and trying to get him regulated. And like you, I needed to make sure we were trying every avenue. Again, he was running so very...

But, until we can see a new curve with the adjusted insulin, it's not worth talking about anything. R is best used when you get a quick rise from food. I'm not sure you are seeing this.....but time...

Just checking in with everyone. I have been sick so not posting for a while. The news with Rascal is the vet tried him on some chinese herbs and he did not do well, they were si miac san and corn...

do hope you feel better Jackie...I hate to say it, but some of those 'natural' fixes sometimes cause more problems than they are worth, but glad Rascal is doing better off of it and still being a...

Sorry to hear about the mess the herbs caused. Sometimes things like that can be good, other times a nightmare. And so sorry you've been sick. Early in the season for it. Hope you are feeling a bit...

How is everyone? Saw a senior vet at another vet office because the one we had basically just left us hanging after the chinese herb fiasco. I had upped Rascal to 13.5 units and not only is he going...

Oh Jackie, I'm sorry about Rascal. Nash went blind within 4-5 months. I was more devastated then him, and he adjusted very well. Dogs are remarkable. Some here had had the surgery, but we couldn't...
View ArticleRe: Hello everyone
For what it's worth, some dogs have high blood sugar for months and NEVER go blind. I know that Johanna's Killian was one of them. So don't beat yourself up over this - it just happens sometimes....

Thank you so much the support is heartfelt for sure. Rascal has had the trots for a few days I am wondering if it is the insulin. I am giving him digestive enzymes again and probiotics which should...

I used the freestyle mini and I just went by that. You have to compare your meter to the lab not another meter. These meters are designed for human blood, and also they read Higher than they...
