Re: Logan Insulin increase
Irene Collins-Fotino
Hi Amy,
I'm not sure I understand your first sentence especially the part about that 10-11 is the target max. The only thing I would add (besides I'm kind of surprised his insulin has been as close as it has to normal (keeping in mind that 10-11 is the target max) in the past with his ACTH numbers--wow! those are really high)The target range for insulin is 10-40. No he is not eating bananas or any treats as far as I know. Everyone at the barn knows he is a "no treat" horse. Of course we do get visitors from time to time so that is an unknown. He does occasionally pull me and others to grass, but that is a momentary issue. You're right - his ACTH numbers are crazy high. I'm still trying to understand Dr. Kellon's remark that there are horses with high ACTH that are "biologically inactive". I asked my vet He seems to be doing well. I'm back to riding him - he has an issue with right-rear hamstrings, so we are trying to be careful to work those. He has lots of energy. I'm looking for some suggestions to replace the InsulinWise. -- Irene & Logan NRC 2009 Hudson, NH https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=9598 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Irene%20&%20Logan
