Bay in TN, YES, his symptoms would make sense if his sugar was low. BUT, I know that wasn't the case. He had eaten (even stole some pizza crust from the garbage).

I am going to post another blog...........I got a call from the vet today.

Glad everything is checking out so far. Lets hope he doesn't give you another scare like this again. Good luck and stay healthy Chester.

Aww diabetes is scary. I would've crapped my pants if I saw Win doing any of the stuff you said Chester did.

My grandfather had diabetes, and every time his blood sugar would get too low my grandma would yell at him to eat a Tootsie Roll!! He would get pretty loopy aha. But I am glad to hear that Chester is better now!

Poor guy!! this must be hard for you. I know how worrisome it can be with a sick baby. We're here for you!

Chester, from one diabetic to another, hang in there kiddo! You are lucky you have people taking care of you who love you so much.

First of all, I hope Chester feels better, much better, and that right soon!

Secondly, I'm not a vet nor a doctor, but I am married to a guy with Type I diabetes. The human kind. Which is almost certainly different from the canine kind, so I'm probably just talking out of my head. Anyway, when I read your description of Chester's unusual morning, the first thing *I* thought was, "Low blood sugar." That would happen if Chester didn't eat anything but did get his usual dose of insulin. Or if he was unusually active and produced his own insulin along with the artificially ingested insulin, and it overwhelmed the amount of food he did eat. But it doesn't sound like high blood sugar at all, which would've happened if your son had not gotten Chester's needle all the way into him.

But I could be wrong, because, y'know, I'm not a professional physician for any species, much less Chester's. It's just that I've seen a *lot* of low blood sugar episodes in my darlin' husband, and they can seem crazy, blind, deaf, and just generally completely off the wall when their blood sugar is too low. They can't help it. But fortunately, that can be easily fixed by food.

I continue to keep good thoughts in mind for Chester and his continued recovery! :)
