imported_Matty Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I kinda thought this article was interesting. I know the article is about humans. But I thought that people may be interested in this info in regards to their dogs as well. :D http://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA30265/ Quote
courtnek Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I am a diabetic, type I (insuln dependant) and it affected mine. I was taking it (on my own, no doctors advice) for arthritic and joint pain. It definitely raised my blood sugar levels. It would not be a problem in a non-diabetic however (dog or human) because the pancreas would compensate by producing more insulin. With a diabetic dog, it might be an issue. I had to increase insulin levels to continue taking it. I stopped taking it because my blood sugar levels were not constant. sometimes too high, sometimes too low. Quote
