I was part of this group before but I think I got booted off, not sure what happened. Everything just disappeared.
Just had to take Martha in earlier this week, she was very sick and could hardly walk because of hind legs neuropathy. Martha is indeed diabetic. BG was 384 and Fructosamine was 455.I will go out to the vet's tomorrow morning and get some insulin instruction and get her started on insulin. No idea what kind, dosage, or anything else except I know I'll have to give her two shots a day. He mentioned two kinds: PDI and Lantis--?? Praying we get the dosage and everything just right. I started her on oral B12 meth today, 1000 mcg. primarily for that awful neuropathy. She is hardly able to walk. Her Hematocrit was just under 28-- The B12 will help that too, won't it?
Well, that's it in a nutshell. This is a whole new area for me, and I'd appreciate any advice, suggestions, comments--anything to help me find my way through the maze
