I'm not understanding why he has these days of such extremes. For the past few weeks, when we check his sugar in the morning, it's in the mid 300s. At night, it's usually a bit higher, 400 or so. The night before all of this happened, his sugar was in the low 400s and we gave him the usual amount of insulin - so that can't be what caused it. My husband thinks we may need to try the mixed insulin (a mix of both fast and slow acting insulin), but I hear that doesn't have great results in dogs.
If you have a diabetic dog, what kind of insulin do you use? How long did it take you to find the right insulin and to get your pup regulated on that insulin? Any advice for a newbie?
Diabetes is diagnosed by testing glucose fixations in the blood and urine. What's more, your veterinarian will get some information about any clinical signs, including extended thirst and frequent urination, as well as weight reduction regardless of an increased appetite. These signs may demonstrate that your feline has diabetes, in spite of the fact that they may likewise be caused by different dog diabetes.
