Spock's Blood

[Jayd]

I never knew birds could be diabetic. Well at least you know what's wrong, must be a relief & now you can treat him.

Diabetes is known to happen in our birds,The Pancreas doesn't produce enough Insulin to counter sugar in the blood, this is called "Hyperglycemia". [increased levels of blood sugar] ie: sugar rush!!!

Spock in turn has hypoglycemia, not enough sugar in the blood, the opposite. This can be caused the Pancreas not being able to control the amount of Insulin it produces, too much insulin, so sugar, [engery]

Vitamins, and food of nutritional value don't reach the blood stream and organs. Spock eats a lot of carb's, carb's = sugar= energy, Spocks supplement increase appetite, increase food and nutrient's [sugar]= weight gain and absorption of everything needed to keep the body healthy! So, with out being aware of it , we've been keeping Spock alive by what we feed him! We have to wait and see if we can control this with diet alone!!!

Thanks
