How many days has he actually held out and not eaten a thing?

On the plus side, his insulin is coming down. He was tested on
6/14/06 it was 47.5, 10/5/07 it was 30.19 and now it's down to 21.
That's good news right?

Yes! this proves that the diet is working for him but you still need to tighten it up to get even better results. You want a G:I ratio of 10.1 or better!! You can do it!

I have no idea what caused Nugget's hives. You'd have to expirement by introducing each item seperately then chart it so you don't accidentally feed him that again. Most horses do very well on the Diet.

Have you tried Blue Seal Carb Guard as a season? Thats what I use. TC Lite would be another choice. Hang in there.

funny thing (sorta), my other horse, Nugget, got into Dude's stall
when I gave them play time. I found Nugget happily eating the beet
pulp with all the mixings. He only ate a little before I got him
out. He is a very picky eater! Of course, later that evening he
was covered in hives all over his body!! Not sure if he had a
reaction to the mixings or what....

looking for help, Teresa and Dude in NC

thanks
