Diabetes
 

My dog of 8yrs old a yorkie terrier name T O. has been diagnosed with diabetes his sugar level is at 600 he is on two insulin shots a day. Can anyone share any helpful info. The vet was ready to put him to sleep two weeks ago but after trying insulin he is doing better.

I'm so sorry you and T O are going through this. I'm sure someone on this forum can help you.

Thanks for your concern, it means so much just to someone say "I'm sorry" For your pain.

My yorkie TJ was diagnosed with Diabetes in January. I was wondering how your T O is doing now. Vet still has not found insulin amount that is correct yet.

I am so sorry that your little ones are struggling with this, and hope that they are able to be regulated, and return to a healthy life soon!

My pup was diabetic for 3 years. Are you on Novalin N? Low fat diet? Checking BG regularly? If you have Facebook join the group “Canine Diabetes Support and Information” they are awesome, supportive and informative

My Bella was diagnosed diabetes at 11 1/2 years. Her sugar was also that high. Don’t give up. Bella has two shots a day and is bouncing around like a puppy. She is on insulin and diabetic canned dog food. Biggest curve was testing insulting. Forget the ears I could only get blood by testing on inside of lip. She is doing so good I only test in the morning and if she is in range (under 230). I give insulin of course but do not test blood twice a day. It took a couple of months to get her stable and my vet would text or I would her almost daily for the first 2 weeks. I didn’t realize how sick she had slowly gotten until I got her stabilize and how much life she sprung back. You can do this. I feed and give insulin on my time schedule because exact time is pretty important every day. I feed twice a day and you need to for insulting injections. Treats need to be checked for sugar Because some make her sugar to jump. I get her generic strip so that saved a lot on Amazon. She take vetinsulin insulin. The diabetic dog food can be bought at your vet or online but does require a prescription. It is worth it to see your dog happy. Once you get settled in it not that impacting. For me when I leave town I have to board her at my vet instead of a friend’s house. That was a little ouch on the budget. Anyway hope this helps.
