neuropathy

[Dee]

I have been away from this board for quite a while. We are now living in NY and my vet isn't the greatest. I seem to remember something about injectable B 12...methylcobalamin? How do you get it. My vet has never herd of the "methyl" part. Buddy has been diabetic for 6 yrs now. It has all ben easy until this last year. We are trying to regulate his BG and it IS coming down. I think we have a problem with neuropathy, though. I just need some advice.

Thanks so much.

Here is info about methyl B12 (aka methylcobalamin) and where to buy it: http://www.laurieulrich.com/jasper/ People here use the pills or liquid. Health food/vitamin stores will have it. Injectable methyl B12 is only available through a vet. Not all vets are familiar with using methyl B12 to treat neuropathy. Regular B12 injections/pills/liquid does not help the neuropathy.

Welcome back!

Most people here use the Methyl B12 in pill form. Here is the info: http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/wiki/Neuropathy

Wonder what happened to push your kitty out of regulation? If you need any advice on your specific insulin, we now have support group pages for Lantus, Levemir and PZI. There is also one for Vetsulin, but it is not widely used now because of quality control issues. viewforum.php?f=5

The lst time I brought it up, she didn't even know how to dose it. She is really good about learning newthings, though, so if someone could walk her through it...
I'll take a look at that link. Thanks.
