6 Natural Alternatives To Antidepressants. Whether you talk about it or not, chances are you or one of your friends takes an antidepressant to combat depression. A recent report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that in 2010, 16% of adults ages of 45 to 64 take at least one antidepressant â a 91% increase since 2000.
Causes of Low Blood Sugar in Dogs. A low concentration of glucose in the blood may be caused by stress, low temperatures, poor nutrition or intestinal parasites that deprive the dog of the essential nutrients.
But dogs that have blood glucose levels persistently greater than 200mg/dL have diabetes. With the medicines of today, there is no way you can duplicate the normal situation with injected insulin. The best you can hope for is to keep your pet's blood sugar level between 100mg/dL and 150mg/dL. Occasional owners can attain that, but most will find that their dogs peak (spike) considerably higher. Larger or more frequent doses of insulin will drive down these glucose spikes.
