[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2088693, member: 475037"] I do have a dog that has diabetes and she is thriving! Perfect weight, although she does have a few immune issues, she was rescued by an organization and had been abused. Although since I am a type 1 it is probably easier for me to deal with her diabetes. When we got our gal I knew/know 3 other people that have diabetic dogs currently and they all are doing well! I am only saying this because it really isn't costly, they are put on NPH insulin 2 times a day, although I give mine humalog adjustments too. But NPH is either $25 or $35 a bottle so the cost isn't bad. I believe if I remember correctly 1 out of every 300 dogs, similar to people get type 1 diabetes, but only about half survive when originally diagnosed. So it's about 1 in every 600 dogs out there that have it. ( in the US) We always run into other people at the vets with a diabetic dog too. Whether people can't deal with it is possible, but most of it is just they don't survive by the time it's diagnosed. You have to notice them drinking more water or in her case she just wasn't quite as perky so we had blood work done. She was in DKA. But don't give up on your dog if they get it!!!!! They can thrive just as much as us!!!! [/QUOTE]
