Sugarversary
Man, how time flies. It's been 2 years since diagnosis. I'm very happy he's quite healthy, according to his last bloodwork, urine, examination.
But consistency and steady regulation has not been achieved to what I believe it should be. Frustrating. Sometimes there's not a whole lot you can do {or is there, my brain always asks.} There's a point where you could be flirting with too much potential for lows when you don't expect them, especially with a dog like Riley with varied nadirs and fastings. My vet said, " he's just a weird little dude." But she also brings me back to earth by pointing out he has no clinical signs, which is a big thing with dogs. But hard for a number focused diabetic like myself to accept. I need to be thankful I have him {which I am}, but stay vigilant in keeping him my little buddy for as long as possible. Thanks to all on this forum for everything I've learned about diabetes and emotional control.

Re: Sugarversary
yay for a wonderful job both of you have done . It is no easy task . That is key not seeing any diabetic symptoms . Jesse has always had her ups and downs and really its more common than you think . Keep up the good work

Re: Sugarversary
Thanks to all for the wishes, and all your support. It is invaluable, just like our furry children.

Re: Sugarversary
Congratulations! You've really been on top of his care. He is a doll. Most of us who are/were more active on this forum had dogs who "didn't read the manual"
