Dia-Treaties for dog diabetes
Dia-Treaties®, Vintek Nutrition’s patented product for diabetic dogs are now being used by hundreds of dogs all over the U.S. and in several foreign countries. To date, this success is brought about by word of mouth (IT WORKS!) and the notoriety afforded by the “Saving Vinny” article in the July, 2014 issue of Guideposts magazine (click link to open).
Dia-Treaties® appear to make your dog’s cells more sensitive to the insulin you are giving thereby assisting in what is termed “regulation of blood sugar”.
In the package instructions, the statement emphasizes the importance of using Dia-Treaties® with the knowledge and under the supervision of your veterinarian. This is due to the fact that most dogs require a significant reduction in their insulin dosage when taking Dia-Treaties®. Left unreduced, insulin with the Dia-Treaties can result in low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) causing lethargy, weakness or collapse.
Veterinarians are skeptical by nature. They are constantly bombarded by ads, brochures or sales people touting some “miracle cure” for some disease or other. So when purchasers of Dia-Treaties® attempt to enlist the supervision of their veterinarian with its use, this skepticism becomes manifest. A few veterinarians have told purchasers they shouldn’t use it. This opinion comes from ignorance of Dia-Treaties® and their lack of familiarity with it. After all, the product is new to the mass market so skepticism is understandable.
If you have bought Dia-Treaties® and been told not to use them we are willing to refund your money. Here’s a better idea: keep them in the refrigerator. If your veterinarian fails to successfully regulate your dog’s blood sugar, then use them. They are safe.
Interestingly enough, for many who were told NOT to use Dia-Treaties®, their dog’s blood sugars remain in the 300 – 500 mg/dl range. (normal is 90 – 110) That’s not good; it is way too high. They are NOT regulated. What is the veterinarian doing that’s so wonderful for the dog? What is there to lose?
Even if your dog is regulated, adding Dia-Treaties® to the regimen can be beneficial – for the dog and for you! Dia-Treaties® smooth out the blood sugar which is good for the dog. Dia-Treaties® also can require a reduction in insulin which is good for you – fewer $$ spent on insulin.
Diabetes can be an extremely frustrating disease to manage. We commend your commitment to your pet in implementing therapy. In over 6 years of use, Dia-Treaties® have eased the frustrations of pet owners and helped their pets.
