Did you check TG before starting Invokana? -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

By Eleanor Kellon, VMD · #276179 ·

Another positive Invokana update!

I’m jumping for joy! Ava started Invokana on 4/11. Her insulin was in the 240 range and glucose high. Had blood taken yesterday and her insulin is now 47 and her glucose is within the normal

Re: Insulin still high

Hi Gymah, I pay $125/month for Invokana. I use PricePro Pharmacy in Canada and the meds ship from the UK. It takes about 3 weeks to arrive. I just started it on 4/11 and just got the results from

Re: Updated CR... still uncompensated? #file-notice #photo-notice

Thank you, Dr. Kellon. Good to know. I try not to get hung up on the numbers but also know that Yankee is already pretty stoic, so just wanted to be sure the numbers didn't "say" that maybe he isn't

Re: Updated CR... still uncompensated? #file-notice #photo-notice

Jodi, Don't get hung up on the ratios/proxies and labels. Research has shown they are valid but no more informative than insulin and it's the insulin number that shows how good, or not, your control

Re: New Case Histories

I do something similar to Nancy - My mini mule scarfs up more than her fair share of Yankee's hay. I measure a bit under 1.5% of their combined weights, which I'll drop as the pasture comes in and I

Updated CR... still uncompensated? #file-notice #photo-notice

I've updated Yankee's information - both the CR and a "body near" photo - and would like some advice. Here's his ratios - without the handy reference, I'm unsure if he's still in the uncompensated

Re: Insulin still high

Soaking hay for longer periods may not help much. What you CAN do is change the soaking water and do a second soak. A second soak with clean water will pull out more sugars. Also, are you rinsing

Re: Insulin still high

Hi Helene, Considering Rosie's ACTH was too high in Dec 2021 on 0.5 mg, I would say she needs a higher dose of pergolide. I would try 1mg. Remember that ACTH is only 1 of the insulin-raising

Thank you, Trisha for posting this link. Very informative. I didn't know there were options. So new to all of this. I have only found the diet/hay testing information in Pete Ramey's articles. And
