Last week the vet took blood as a sort of routine thing and called me to say Byron had mild diabetes AND hyperthyroidism!! :faint:

Well, he said let's do diet management instead of insulin for starters and also put him on antithyroid (methimazol).
Took him in for blood glucose check today............down to 108 from 260 :dance4::dance4::dance4::dance4:
The vet was jumping for joy!! I was so tired I just smiled and on the way out he was You should be VERY happy!! :D
I think I will take them some goodies soon :hehe:
Now we have to go for weekly glucose tests, and every four weeks a CBC till things normalize:eek:

Very good news, Saroj! Looks like we have been receiving positive turn outs to some sick companions on this forum, and hope this trend continues. :angel1:

Saroj that is indeed good news. We have a good number of diabetic patients at the clinic where I work. We start out trying to educate our clients that keeping their pets lean is best, doesn't always prevent diabetes (as with humans) but sure does help. I'm glad that your guy has responded so quickly. What kind of diet is Byron on?
