Thanks Natalie! I'm so happy I found this website. I love my vet but its very much a 'matter of fact' to him although he is available anytime I call. I'm looking forward to the laughing part

Insulin: Vetsulin 2x a day 15 at the moment; just started this; nerve racking
I just found out forbes is diabetic. He's 9 and a big boy. Not fat, but long legs/shaped more like a shepard. He has cataract in one eye and starting in another.
My vet started him at 20 Units 2 x a day and he came up negative on urine strips for 6 hours so he dropped him to 15 yesterday. Today he is again negative for 6 hours. He is acting perfectly normal. Gave him a few extra treats. Have to see what the reading is at 6p to determine if I give him a shot tonight.
I know I have to have patience, but this is very stressful
