Anyone have diabetic dogs?

So, being the sucker that I am, I adopted this dog from Craigslist last week, after losing our 19-year-old rat terrier.

The guy said she was was up-to-date on vaccinations, and 100% healthy. NOT!

I managed to track down her former vet, through her old rabies tag. She hadn't been vaccinated for two years, had a belly full of hookworms, and is (untreated) diabetic. I noticed immediately how thirsty she was, and the frequent peeing that goes along with that.

Our vet did some bloodwork and urinalysis; surprise! - glucose 3+ in urine, and serum glucose over 400.

She's on twice-daily insulin injections, and I'm taking her for a checkup tomorrow. Hoping to get her stable, and feeling better soon. Her name is "Lizzy".
