Add me to the list of diabetic-dog owners....
So I guess I've been too lucky all these decades; plus adding a breed that is more likely to get diabetes (poodles) upped my chances anyway - but 8 year old Jimmy (mini Aussie/Mini poodle cross) deli...

Today's trip to the vet for a blood-sugar check showed Jimmy still a tad high at 227, so his dose was upped to 5 units. I figured out pretty quick to give him his shot about 5-10 minutes after he eats, so he doesn't associate the food with the shot and eats his whole dinner. But remarkably, I can show him the syringe, and he comes right to me to get his shot; then he gets rewarded with a small piece of freeze-dried liver.
It's going OK, all in all :-)
