Then almost immediately after the vet told me how well she does with it and I was quite relieved.<br /><br />Karen - Yes, me to!!<br /><br />Jackie - The insulin has definitely been a bit harder than I had thought. There still is no set amount to give her. It started at 27, dropped down to 24, then to 19, back up to 21, and we're still keeping in touch with the vet to help us try to regulate it. It is quite amazing that it wasn't the sugar. I haven't fed her table scraps in at least 4 years, and even more strict about it the past 2 years. She used to get the occasional crust at the end of a sandwich or a slice of pizza, but hasn't had anything for 2 years.Michael Rectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130504478736454395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558499608606657917.post-51957252038550371762010-11-05T02:49:48.692-04:002010-11-05T02:49:48.692-04:00Glad you found out what was wrong with Jasmin and ...Glad you found out what was wrong with Jasmin and now with insulin can now get back to being her normal happy, healthy self. <br /><br />Always amazes me when dogs get diabetes as we all think sugar when it happens and yet it obviously something else in their diet that causes it.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400551733221594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558499608606657917.post-21950838300029179172010-10-30T00:31:27.687-04:002010-10-30T00:31:27.687-04:00Precious pup.

Glad to hear she has taken to the shots.

We are doing everything we can to keep her healthy and happy. <br />And you're right, animals are the best!Michael Rectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130504478736454395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558499608606657917.post-59470219233510683032010-10-27T20:38:06.721-04:002010-10-27T20:38:06.721-04:00Glad to hear you got it worked out!
