I can’t thank you enough for making this video! My dog was diagnosed with diabetics a couple of days ago, but since I’m a student at a university on the other side of England, I wasn’t given much information. I now understand his diagnosis and what I can do to help. This presentation has been so helpful :)
Well, good thing you found this video. Shame that you weren't supported with education about your dog's diagnosis... perhaps you'll send this video to the doctor who diagnosed your dog. It's been a year, and how is your dog feeling now?
A very good overview of diabetes, well presented, thoroughly explained and should take the mystery out of the disease for the most part, making it more easily understood...BRAVO!
Great informative vid..didn't know about not shaking the vial of insulin. After a week of injections my 12 year old pup is back swimming barking and alive again. Will keep the treatments up and monitor her for her continued health.
My 13yr old male feline was diagnosed with diabetes 3 weeks ago. I have been doing extensive research ever since. This video has been a God-send for me. Not only do I better understand the disease (my intention for watching this video) I have a better understanding how the treatment may or may not be working and can help my Vet better understand what is going on at home. Thank you so much!!!
the cause of T2D is the FOOD. It's full of sugars, carbs, seed oils and processed junk. The root cause of T2D in dogs and cats is the FOOD. 100 years ago dogs and cats didn't get T2D. IT'S THE FOOD.
My shitzu was just dianosed with diabetes. Her sugar was 410 ! She's also got an enlarged heart . She's 11 yrs. Old and I have had her since she was 4 weeks old..so she's my baby. I noticed she was extremely hungry even after eating. She had to hurry outside to pee and drinking tons of water. Then she began having trembling and sleeping a Lot ..a few days ago I saw that she had lost a lot of weight very fast . She had been a little on the heavy side . She had the weakness and stumbling. I then rushed her to the Vet where tests showed the diabetes and enlarged heart. I feel very guilty. I feel as if I neglected her and waited much too long to get her help. I've been beating myself up over this. And treatment is expensive but if you want your little furry baby to be with you longer do your best to get help for it because they will not survive without it and they are suffering. I pray for all of you who have ill pets ...please pray for my Mattie . And if you notice Any of these symptoms take them to the Vet immediately. The sooner you get them on a right diet and meds the better chance they have.
My Patterdale terrier, Henry, was diagnosed with diabetes and Cushing's Syndrome 3 weeks ago. I am having an awful struggle at the moment with him as he is dehydrated and in doggie hospital for the day. He will not eat anything at all so I can't give him his insulin and I'm terribly worried. Its such a lot to take in and my mind is racing. I feel hysterical and like you I'm beating myself up thinking its my fault. We will do anything for our furbabies but I'm having a struggle thinking straight like I need to be to help him have a proper life. I follow exactly what the vet says but at the moment feel to stupid for the medical facts to sink in. I pray for your beloved Mattie and my Henry and for you and me and the rest of us who are going through this. God bless and help us to be strong. 💕
I just found out my dog has diabetes a few days ago, and I can relate to how you both feel. The guilt is overwhelming me, and every time I give him his shot I think about how its my fault for not taking better care of him, and not taking him to the vet sooner. And on top of that my husband is not supportive of the treatment so Im pretty much on my own and it's so scary. I have been furloughed from work since March, so at least I am home now. But I return to work on Sunday and Im so worried about him being alone. But like you said I will do anything for him so he can be healthy and happy. I hope I can adjust my schedule accordingly or I might have to look for another job. I am praying for all of you going through this. I reached out to some of my neighbors on the Nextdoor website and they are so supportive, so you might want to try that just for the emotional support. It's helped me a lot so that I don't feel so overwhelmed and can give my doggy the best care possible. Good luck to you and God bless.
@@chivis5662 ....thank you for the advice. Its good to be able to share our stories. I know we shall be strong and gain control of this awful situation. My sister-in-law is diabetic and she was told at the start not to look at it as an illness but as another way of living. When the initial shock has eased off I'm sure we'll get on top of this and things will feel more like normal. It really isn't our fault - I realise that now and we'll all come out on top of it. Let's look after ourselves too and stay safe. God bless. 💕🐶
thank you so much for this. my dog has been diagnosed with diabetes for about 2 weeks and we are trying to get him back to feeling normal. he is very lethargic. going to do a glucose curve today.
How has your dog been feeling the last few months? Better, I hope. Can you give any tips? I'm just learning about This problem with my dog. Kinda overwhelmed with testing to figure this out but at least This video gave a number range that I can understand...so similar to humans.
@@cindirose3390 hey, dogs are supposed to be between 7 and 12. I have been unable to regulate my dog's blood sugars for the past year he is on a dose of insulin three times the normal dose for his weight and I am breaking the bank. He is also recently went blind. I fear this will be his last year. I hope your job fares better
My dog was just diagnosed w diabetes. I was told by the vet that diet and exercise will not help like it does in humans. She HAS to go immediately in insulin, Rx food diet, Curve Program every 2 weeks , needles can only be from the vet office etc etc etc. I don't understand how if placing my dog on a diet and monitoring her diabetes for 4 to 6 weeks could be a bad thing... to ensure she doesn't start something as serious as insulin injections and actually not need it. Or it may not be that bad. Or just to atleast see if it helps her glucose levels. Does this sound reasonable?

Thank you thank you thank you doctor 04.13.2021 The vet,who purchased the clinic from my trusted honorable vet after he retired, and her insensitive hateful assistant Jesse did my k9 fur baby grave injustice after her diagnosis
I refuse to allow my baby to die nor suffer. She will be healed.
Thank you for providing us with this vital information. God bless you doctor
I am a medical professional, but my dog becoming a diabetic shook me. Thank you for this.
This is the most informative video I've found on diabetes in pets and I appreciate this so much. Thank you.
A must watch for new patients and their hoomans.
Thank You for the help! My cat is still in the hospital but I'm getting ready for when he comes home in the next day or 2. This was helpful ty.
Great presentation. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Thanks so much for putting this together and sharing it. I will do all that I can to try and reverse the disease from my recently diagnosed cat🙏

Very informative video, thank you!
Thanks for a great presentation!
Thank you for an excellent well done video!
Very very informative. Thank you
Thank u soooooooooooooo much for this super amazing brilliant video
God bless you
Awesome!!
Excellent video, thanks. It's been seven years since you made this video, and I wonder if there are any updates or new ideas for us.
Great video, thank you. You mentioned Karo corn syrup, if I don't have that can I give him honey instead?
I read you can rub honey on their gums if you don't have karo.
On average how long does it take for a newly diagnosed dog to stablise
Thank you
Great job
Thx, doc

Thank you for this
When taking a glucose curve for a cat, should the blood be tested before he has eaten or after?
Thank you sp much

Thank you thank you thank you doctor 04.13.2021
The vet,who purchased the clinic from my trusted honorable vet after he retired, and her insensitive hateful assistant Jesse did my k9 fur baby grave injustice after her diagnosis
My cat had diabetes
You know why ? you gave it junk food.
