Newly diagnosed with diabetes
My 8 year old Cairn Terrier has been diagnosed with diabetes. I'm giving her 2
insulin shots daily (of varying amounts of Humalin) based on urine readings.
She's showing no ketones. I was wondering whether anyone knew about a diabetes
newsgroup or board where I might be able to post questions and correspond with
others who are dealing with the same issue
Everything I've looked up so far discusses doing blood tests rather than the
urine tests. Don't get me wrong, doing urines is far easier (although not as
accurate), but maybe our vet recommeded it because the diabetes isn't that
severe, or because she knew how difficult getting bloods from this particular
dog would be.
Any help appreciated!
