24lb Terri-Poo on 13units NPH every morning
Years on insulin = 7
**Note: it is important to avoid the following preservatives: MSG, BHA, BHT. MSG stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin in non-insulin dependent diabetics, and stresses the pancreas even further with those diabetics that are insulin dependent. BHA & BHT are degraded by the liver and excreted by the kidneys, extra stresses that diabetics can do without !
Boiled Dinner
3 lbs. ground meat (beef, lean beef heart, chicken, turkey, deer, or lamb)
3 cups cooked brown rice (don't use processed rice such as minute rice lacks necessary starches and minerals)
3 cups frozen mixed veggies (can also use stir fry veggies both available in large bags at Sam's Club, Gordon Foods, and most bulk food sections)
1.5 teaspoon salt
Boil ground meat in large pot until done. Add frozen veggies, and salt. When veggies are cooked, remove pot from heat. Drain and rinse in large colander using warm water. Mix in rice. Place in quart size freezer bags and place in freezer. Yield = 9 cups (9 18 meals, depending on portion size).
Beans' N Rice
2 cups cooked Red Kidney Beans (roughly 2 cans any brand low in preservatives)
For variety, mix and match any of the following: pintos, black,
navy, or lentils.
3 cups cooked brown rice (don't use processed rice lacks starch and
minerals)
1 cup cooked carrots (about 1 can no preservatives ! in Michigan,
Meijer brands have
little to no preservatives added)
1 cup creamy cottage cheese (can substitute lowfat cottage cheese or
tofu if dog doesn't
like cottage cheese)
1 small clove garlic - crushed (optional)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (any brand without MSG, BHA, BHT)
OR 1 teaspoon
Tamari soy sauce (preservative free)
Rinse beans and then warm in pot of fresh water. Rinse and warm
in fresh water once more (helps cut down on DDF's deadly dog farts).
Drain and add rest of ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Place into
quart size freezer bags and refrigerate. Yield = 7 cups (7 14 meals
depending on portion sizes). I didn't freeze this particular recipe
because of the cottage cheese. I did mix this with other meals for
more variety, using the ½ to ½ portion technique.
One to One Goulash
1 lb ground meat (any variety beef, chicken, turkey, deer, etc.)
1 lb elbow macaroni (watch preservatives)
1 16oz can stewed tomatoes (chunked up and watch preservatives)
1 16oz can green beans optional (any brand with just water and salt
no preservatives)
Boil meat in water until done. Drain and rinse in colander.
Add enough water back to meat to cook macaroni. Drain and rinse again
once macaroni is cooked. Mix in tomatoes, cover and let stand until
tomatoes are warmed. Place in quart freezer baggies and place in
freezer. Yield = about 2 bags, 3 if green beans added. This
is a nice recipe for making large batches.
Meatloaf
1- 1/2 lbs. lean ground meat (beef, turkey, beef heart, chicken, lamb,
deer, etc)
1-1/2 cups frozen mixed veggies
1 cup uncooked oats (quick or old fashioned don't use instant, they
are high in sugar)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 egg slightly beaten (or 2 egg whites)
1/3 cup skim milk
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (preservative free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 350°. Using a large bowl, mix all ingredients
until moist enough to make into a loaf. Put mixture into 9x5 inch
loaf pan and bake in oven until done (45 60 minutes). Drain and
let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into even portions (about
8 slices), and then cut into even portions again. Yield = 8
- 16 servings, depending on portion size fed. Wrap individual portions
in wax paper, place in freezer baggies and freeze

back to diabetes in dogs
Always take your diabetic
pet to the vet because diabetes mellitus is a
serious disease but not
a death sentence.
Do not change your dog's
diet without consulting the vet in charge.
Remember two shots of
insulin a day will keep high blood glucose away. Judy
