Still a bit high insulin level for Scooter
Rhonda Turley
I had Scooter tested in November 11,2021 and his insulin level was sky high(1435). Back up to earlier in the late summer he was on a mixture of straw and grass hay. My vet had recommended this and it seemed worth a try and the result was the high insulin level. I immediately got his diet changed (he lives in a large boarding stable) to no straw and timothy grass hay and his insulin/glucose/ACTH levels have gone down but his insulin level is a tiny bit high at 367 (should be under 300). Is this a concern?
I also had Scooter checked for allergies at the same time. Do allergies affect his ACTH/Glucose/Insulin levels? His case history has been posted. Otherwise he is very healthy and back in dressage training and is getting fitter. -- Rhonda Turley Brampton, Ontario April 2020 Scooter and Rhonda https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=258159
