Diabetes
Diabetes
Hi all! Been awhile since I've been on here I had to redo my registration! I guess that's good, right? Well, my girl Maui has been a stable EPI-er since she was 5. She's now 12 and has been diagnosed with diabetes. I guess I'm looking for some direction as to feeding changes and managing both at the same time. I feel like we are starting from scratch again...sigh. I kind of want to cry. Any help/advice is welcome as to what works for you and your pups. Thank you!
Re: Diabetes
Hi Chris, good to hear from you. I have no experience with diabetes but someone should be here soon who does. Glad to hear you have had Epi under control.

Re: Diabetes
Hi there. So glad you haven't had to be here in a while but so sorry you are now dealing with diabetes. I know Olesia (founder) always says to give the non-EPI condition, diabetes, preference over EPI. Here are two sites she also recommends
http://k9diabetes.com/ - dogs with Diabetes (mellitus).. however, Diabetes Insipidus is totally different so this is another good Diabetes reference that covers EVERYTHING
http://www.caninediabetes.org/easyreference.html
Also feel free to reach out to Olesia directly olesia.kennedy@gmail.com - she has a dog with diabetes and EPI.

Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........
