Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yorkshire lass" data-source="post: 127889" data-attributes="member: 25903">We do test his urine.  As his diabetes isn't yet undercontrol we know to expect his glucose levels to be high.  For now we have told to check for ketones, a trace is okay but anything above that and see the vet stright away.  We also have an expected level for the glucose which he has remained within.  He has a fructosamine test every fortnight and the problem is it's not going down, it's still in the mid 600s and it should be around 400 I think in diabetic dog.  His blood glucose is so high at the moment it is off the scale of the small meter the vets have.  Also that tests just shows what it is when tested the fructosamine shows an average over two weeks.  We are not happy with feeding him hills I/d but even the homeopathic doesn't want to mess with his diet too much until he's stable.   We mostly feed him half soaked hills and half white fish or white chicken meat.  The homeopathic vet said to give him more real food and reduce the hills.  We (including the homeopathic vet) have an aspiration to getting him back on raw food if possible.I have tried to join a canine diabetes forum but it's taken a while to be approved. TBH I will do anything to help him so I am open to all suggestions.</blockquote>
