Hi. UPDATE
Lily (our love)
Bichon Frise
11 years - 11 lbs
Diagnosed Dec 15
3.5 Units Novolin N 2x a day
Diabetes
Probable Cushing
Thyroid
Small Mass in Liver
Hills W/D dry and 1/2 can of same 2x daily. Snacks of green beans/carrots/hand full of dry Hills pretty much when she starts whining, around 4pm. Also ground turkey home made meatballs. She is always hungry.
We are scheduled for our 2nd Curve test Friday. Prior curve test had to be stopped due to sugar too high. We also had to be rescheduled due to pancreatitis attacks, keytoasodosis and UTI.
She has been in a Vet Hospital and/or visits so much lately we are on information overload. Due to all the emergency complications we feel so uninformed about the root of problem - which is trying to regulate insulin 1st priority. So overwhelmed because we are dealing with our regular Vet and a Vet Hospital. Who have a tad bit different thoughts on diabetes.
Our concerns are: Lily whines with hunger ALOT. She has lost so much weight. Will regulation help decrease her appetite and increase her weight? What glucose numbers would be optimal? We have NO IDEA at all about blood prick numbers and our Vets want to complete the 2nd Curve before we get into numbers. We have ordered the AlphaTrak 2.
THANK YOU FROM OUR FAMILY.
