    Re: Jesse girl

    thanks liz and tami . I think tami craigs annie was 9 and amys maggie was close to 9 . It is a long time . It would be nice if jesse could hang out as long as liz's snicker who is 18 which i believe is the oldest dog to be diabetic on this forum

    As far as squirrels in her younger days she would not let go but she doesnt seem interested in them anymore . Its rabbits or nothing and she isnt going to catch them but she believes she can ha

              Its time for Jesses 6 month update

              It is her 15 year birthday and she has been diabetic for over 9.5 years . She is doing well and still Jesse . She does have a bit of the old timers in a dulling of the senses and mental acuity

              She still enjoys going out searching for rabbits but clearly the rabbits have the advantage but jesse does not know that

              She has definitely dispelled many myths about K9 diabetes . Like you cant give a homemade diet because it cant be exact and its not balanced like commercial processed dog food , you cant use a human blood glucose meter and with that she uses a discount human meter , you must have close to normal blood sugar to survive , The hope is your dog can live maybe 3 years and will loose their site . These are all the things I heard at the beginning of jesses journey .

              Her one meal a day dispels a myth for all diabetics that its possible to just give one meal . At the time we did it was unheard of .

              My grand kids just love her and so does everyone we meet . Its funny to see her with the grand kids and my kids when they were young as she has become a generational dog . She has also seen many friends come and go over the years . she has a special way about her as gentle and kind . She has improved my life as I feed of that kind nature and me changing what I ate which improved my health . I was pre diabetic at one time but not anymore and I thank jesse for that

              Well it is time to buy more strips ( I buy 6 months of strips at a time ) thats kind of how i project time and the future and that wont change unless she tells me something different .

                            I love that you two have defied all odds and just did what worked for you!! She truly is a little energizer bunny and sounds like she’s still living the life!

                              Thanks Sandy

                              You do what works and you cant be timid to try when what you are doing is completely not working

                              Another thing I do want to add jesses epilepsy has not returned in almost 4 years. Seizures and anxiety are gone ( knock on wood ) I find this odd for a dog that has had epilepsy since she was a puppy

                              It was a gradual process as seizures became less and less over a couple years . Cant find anything about a dog getting older and a decline and complete remission in seizures .

                              Maybe diet, maybe a higher sugar than normal in the brain . Who knows It would be nice to know and maybe helpful for others and with jesse being one of a kind it makes it difficult to draw any conclusions

                              I do think the one meal is helpful for her pancreas not being in a constant point of digestion taking some pressure off that organ as she did have a bad case of pancreatitis at the beginning of this adventure

                              So for her being at the upper end of a beagle lifespan maybe what we are doing has had some benefit .
