Hello All - Red and I are new here and she has a problem that we hope you can help with. 2 months ago Red was diagnosed with Diabetes and she went on to insulin - 2 shots per day at 2 units. She was miserable and one Sunday evening I found her in a puddle of urine and poo dying as her blood sugar has gone down so low. She had also been puking all the time. I revived her with honey and the vet changed the insulin and down to 1 unit once a day. 2 Wednesdays ago I came home and she was in almost as bad shape. All this time she has been miserable with a glassy look to her eyes. I thought I'd need to put her down. But after the Wednesday, I took her off the insulin and she has been happy and eating well. BUT her blood sugar is still between 19 and 23 every day. I gave her .5 unit yesterday and was up most the night with her as she went way too low and was so weak again. She was 10.9 this morning but is back up to 22 now. I have no idea what to do and my vets are confounded. Do any of you have any advice? I just don't know what to do. Thank you for sharing. Best, Shawna & Red
