Hello,
Oliver is a 6 yr old, border terrier/possible cattle dog mix is 32 lbs. August his yearly visit and blood work was normal. After moving out of state in late August, two weeks ago he stopped jumping on the couch and bed. Then started drinking/urinating excessively, urine/blood work confirmed diabetics with his glucose level at 339. His doctor started us on Novilin N twice daily at 4 units. He now eats twice a day 3/4 cup dry 3oz wet (instead of his 2cups once daily) Natural Balance duck and potato (he’s allergic to chicken). After the first three days of being on insulin he seemed fine and decreased his drinking/urinating. Two days ago the water /urinating increased to the point of waking in the middle of the night.
Today was his first at home curve using the Alpha trak2 monitor. His levels concern me, being new to this and am looking for help understanding how to better regulate and help Oliver . Also I’ve noticed moments of mental fog/confusion within the last few days. Thank You.
