Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
The weight gain is probably a result of better blood sugar. High sugar causes weight loss, but once sugars get better, a bit of weight comes back.
My dog lost and regained almost 5 lbs. in his early days.

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
I think this is a good sign too. When the cushings is raging they lose muscle mass.

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
His BG is high the last four days. Average in the 300's. I just took it at 7:30 p.m. and it is 481. He ate at 6:00. I hope maybe I am taking them at a peak point, but it seems as though it's getting higher. Could be because of the weight gain too so I need to increase the insulin to compensate.

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
What you probably want to do is a complete curve . You can post it if you like

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
Being high after eating is normal. But a curve will tell you the pattern and nadir now that he has gained weight.
I’d bet money that the higher sugar is from the weight gain. Weight gain usually requires a dose increase. Same as in humans.

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
So the vet had me increase Yukons insulin because it was in the 200s one day and then all the sudden 500s the next day. I increased to 13 units and he's been all over the charts tonight before his dinner I did a urine and his blood glucose was about 251 hour later it's 730.

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
My jesse has always gone through periods of changing regulation actually she is running a bit higher fasting lately . Tried a lower dose ( i kind of do the opposite of most and lower in response to higher sugar ) and i did get a better fasting for a day and went higher again but i gave it a bit of time . Then i gave a bit higher dose and her fasting went higher so we are in a standoff between 2 worlds higher and lower dose . She has been shaking her head lately so we started working on the ears as that can bring higher fastings with jesse .
Just being reactionary is what most do but I try to find an explanation and try not to just draw straws but its not easy

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
So at 8:30 pm it now registers HI. And I took him for a walk about 45 minutes earlier. I am really questioning the Vetsulin. This is so frustrating.

Re: Diabetes, Cushings and Pancreatitis in my Dog
I am doing a curve Thursday and I will post it. Hopefully the ocu glo was what's throwing him off.
