My 10 yr old mix is diabetic, (she is on insulin – .9 ccs of vetsulin every morning), and she hasn’t been doing so good lately. I heard from another diabetic dog owner that commericial food isn’t as good for them as home-cooked, and was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips on cooking meals for my dog? I know most of the danger foods (chocolate, grapes, etc) but are there any extra danger foods for diabetic dogs? And what will i need to include to give her a balanced diet?
I feel uncomfortable feeding her raw food, because of all the bacteria;
Her diabetes keeps her immune system from working as well as it should, so I really want to keep her away from possibly harmful bacteria…

My question again was about diet cooking tips and there have been some great answers

If I try the Atkins diet for a couple weeks as soon as I stop will I gain all the weight back?

I am going on vacation in two weeks. I want to lose a little weight quickly before I go. I was thinking I would try the Atkins diet but I was worried that when I stopped I would gain all the weight back as soon as I ate a bite of bread. After I stopped doing the Atkins, I would eat a healthy low fat balanced diet. I don’t want to do the Atkins diet for a long time. I worry about fat, cholesterol, and heart disease.

Will I all my weight back if I switch from Atkins diet to a different diet?

I’m using the Atkins diet currently, but want to know, when I reach or become near my goal weight, if I switch to another diet that allows more carbs, will I gain weight? I exercise 3-5 times per week for an hour to two hours and have maintained the same weight for about 5 years now. Assume the diet I switch to is a reasonable, balanced diet (food pyramid), and that I will not be irresponsible by binging or the like. Gaining water weight is of no concern, simply whether or not fat gain would occur from my body immediately leaving ketosis.
