Default Re: Diabetes in a Dwarf hamster: My experience attempting to manage diabetes

I'm happy to hear that people like hearing about this experience and maybe, just maybe, it will benefit someone. I actually also kept pretty detailed records for my vet so that if she comes across this again she will have a better chance at treating it, but I figured I would write it up in more of a story format (with precise dosage information omitted) for everyone else. That said, if someone is dealing with this and wants to talk about what dosages of things we ended up trying please feel free to PM me. I'm willing to discuss it, but obviously every hamster will be different and really needs a vet to guide the actual dosing of medications so I don't want to put it out there generally.
