Blog Entries With Tag: dogBlog: Anna's BlogFrom: FatCatAnnaPosted: Jun 7, 2010
I had written a blog last year in January 2009 about a wonderful organisation that takes seeing eye dogs from 4 months to 1 year – and retrains them to provide medical alert assistance to Type 1 diabetics (Dogs4Diabetes or D4D).

Yes, the temperatures are hovering
around 30 C ( 86 F ) - humidity is up - this is what a Montreal
summer is all about! All I can say is
thank goodness for having central air when we need it! I've got the central air going - and I'm sitting here in the basement at my PC - cool as a cucumber - tho' I will be going out later - since I feel abit "out of touch" when all the windows are closed - with no sounds of fighting blue jays, foundation work on a house a few houses over (the dust is incredible when you go outside - another bonus with having central air - none of this gets inside the house). The one good thing out of this, I have seen a neighbour (the tea/swim pool invite above) - and she's a Type 2 diabetic. I hadn't seen her in about 2 years - and she was asking how I was - and that I looked healthy and younger (getting alot of comments about this lately - I think insulin should be marketed as a fountain of youth product). She is now on Lantus at night time - along with pills - and when I told her what my BG's were in the morning - she said "mine aren't like yours they're much higher" - little bells went off in my head. I asked her about her latest A1C - and she was amazed when I told her what mine was - but she couldn't tell me hers - so I'm thinking they maybe higher then the ADA/CDA standard of 7%. She was interested on going to the pump - but I told her not unless she was totally insulin dependent would I recommend that. So, now our plan is for me to come over to her house and I'll hopefully be able to help her out with her diabetes and offer some sort of advise to approach her doctor with. Nurse FatCatAnna to the rescue again to make people with diabetes have a better quality of life!!!

How about having dinner with the dog? Your diabetic dog wants to have dinner with you. If you are diabetic and your dog is diabetic. You can have dinner with your dog. There are plenty of good foods you and your dog can eat together like hardboiled eggs, chicken, fish, brown rice, cantaloupe, watermelon,cottage cheese, apples, tomatoes, and carrots. By eating these foods, you and the dog will have good blood sugar levels. You can take care of yourself and the dog in the long run. Go for walks, take a class, and try new recipes for yourself and the dog. Remember don't feed the dog grapes and raisins. Those are deadly to the dog's health, but good for you.
