Guinness, a diabetic dog, visits human diabetes doc at fair

Joe Winiarski: Sit, sit. THIS IS GUINESS AND HE'S DIABETIC AND YOU'RE AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST? Claresa Levetan: Yes my specialty is diabetes. WHATS THE STORY WITH GUINNESS HERE? JW: Guinness has been a diabetic for about two years. We give him shots every two days Hes good he takes it like a champ. CL Two days? two times- JW: I mean two times a day CL:You know even people have to have that insulin shot on board. Usually it depends on the type of diabetes but if hes on insulin its going to be a shot or two a day so dont forget the shot of Guinness! JW My mom handles that. CL: As I mentioned its very common to see diabetes in cats but we also see it in dogs. Im trained as an adult, human diabetes doctor but Im always glad to see well cared-for diabetes with pets like dogs so thanks for bringing Guinness by.
