[MR] OT anyone with a diabetic dog? i need info

[logan]

sorry about the off topic post.

 

so, ive been a type 1 diabetic for 21 years.  we have an 11 year old dog
(well, mine for the last year)  that is a little lethargic, drinks lots of
water, has some skin issues.  she also has a dry mouth and doesnt gain
weight.  well, being a diabetic i was thinking about whether this was an age
thing or, perhaps, something i can relate to (back before i gained total
control over my diabetes many many years ago).  a dogs bgl is between 60 and
120 mg/dl.  so i tested lou's sugar tonight (using a lip prick) and the
first reading was 515, the second was 525.  just to be sure i tested two of
our other dogs using my glucometer, the first one was 65 and the second was
52.  so, i think i have a control (x2) and a test.

 

if anyone is currently treating a type 1 diabetic dog i would really
appreciate an email.

 

regards

logan
