Hi, I also have baseline ACTH, Insulin & Glucose testing coming right up and get a bit confused about the timing of food before the blood is drawn. Sherry's reply to Daisy indicates the horse should

Lesley, That’s right, as an estimate for starting. You still need to check to see if tongue and gums get pinker in about an hour. Once you get the dose right, it’s not a terrible idea to check

Thanks Cass! I did read to monitor the tongue and gums. That's been added to my cheat sheet that I keep at the barn. Thank you for the explanation of why the 20min prior to normal feeding. -- Dawn

Dawn, we introduce Jiaogulan teaspoon by half a teaspoon, increasing the dose until we see the effect we're looking for: pinker tongue and gums about an hour after the dose. If you were asking why to

First, thank you for this thread. Very informative and came at the right time for me. I've just ordered the Uckele Jiaogulan for Dalli. I've been going through the archives and have read to introduce
