I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful information I have been reading on this site. Our Izzie (8 yrs old/ chocolate lab) was diagnosed on Weds before Thanksgiving, and by Monday she was completely blind (I think she sees shadows maybe?) By the time I went back to the vet on Monday for her glucose curve, I felt confident enough to ask questions and be a tiny bit knowledgeable. We are home testing- except I think my strips are expired, so I need to go get more tomorrow, and I think I will follow the instructions of the member who suggested making a chart. We have two other dogs- one a rowdy GSD 12 week old pup. Also hanging about are 4 cats. They all get along famously, and with 3 teens we have a busy home. But- when I get the kids all trained to test and how to react I think we will have this at least in hand. Her sugars are so high- she was testing at 550 and they never really got her below 390 I think. We are giving 10 U of humulin n 2X a day. The blindness is what really has me upset, but again, I feel better after reading other experiences here. Sorry this is so long, and I will most likely be back with more pesky questions but what a stressbuster you all have been already!
