    Thank you Doctor. This helped answer the many questions the people in my family have. They’re nervous,but I’m not. My vetinarian team and the entire vetinarian hospital where I go is AWESOME! I’m newly diagnosed and feeling much better with all this great care. Your information about testing, meters, diet and exercise is very helpful.
    Question please?
    I’m a good doggie, so what can I have as a little portable treat in my treat pouch?
    Are doggie treats bad for me now?
    Woof Woof!
    (translation: Thank you!)
    Your video was great!

    Lovely Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried – Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (do a google search)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing diabetes minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend after many years got excellent results with it.

    Great info…However, as an HCP, I have been disappointed to find little information on the best insulin for dogs. I really have issues with NPH and find it to be as unpredictable as DVM’s claim Lantus is. I surely have read repetitive reports on Lantus being quite successful in cats but not dogs due to few research “few studies” on a an adequate number of dogs..WHY? I have read and understand the supposed rationale for why NPH has worked out well. I agree that Lantus worked well in my cat. I believe that the strict control of their BG may be a factor in why cats go into remission and are more likely to be categorized Type 2, unlike dogs. However, there does not seem to be strict requirement to at least TRY to keep a dog’s BG at the normal levels. If a client has a BGOf less than 250…Many DVM’s say, “That’s just fine.” What if we treated them like cats?What if prompt treatment allowed the pancreas to rest and heal in dogs? Is this potential factor that could lead to permanent failure of the isles to produce insulin out of the question?
    Thanks for reading.
