My dog Niki, 11 yr. old border collie/heeler mix was diagnosed with diabetes in October 2002. It was a very sad day for myself and Niki.
It has been 6+ years since then, Niki is doing great, her diabetes is managed with NPH insulin twice a day with a diet I created for her.
Don't give up on your pet if you get this diagnosis. There are help forums on the web, just the information and help you are looking for.
Diabetes is not a death sentence for your pet, there are forums and groups out there to help you
Thank you

I came across this story. My dog Mandy was diagnosed in May 2009, I am ready to lose it, I have done everything I can, she doesn't eat when she is supposed to, I just had a blood curve done, they increased her insulin from 11 units to 13 units, right after I giver her the insulin, she becomes lethargic and just sleeps, now she seems to have some sort of vaginal infection, a light yellow discharge, and there is alot of it. I am terrified, I have spent thousands at the Vet, my husband just lost his job, I am so stressed out, the Vet is no help, all they want is me to bring her in over and over. They have told me there is no way to check her blood sugar at home, I really am on the edge, anyone that can give me any advice, I will do anything for her. She is a nine year old Irish Setter, she weighs about 58 pounds, a year ago she weighed 70, please help.
