Hi,

My name is Linda. I have an 8 year old Dachshund, Millie. She suffered a sever bout of pancreatitis this past January and was subsequently dx with canine diabetes. She is currently using Humulin Insulin 7 units twice daily. She is fed at 7am and 7pm and insulin is given after her meal.

As a result of being a canine diabetic, Millie developed cataracts. Her left eys has a full blown cataract, but her right eye has only at 25% occlusion. In an effort to slow the progression of the cataract in her left eye, the vet opth prescribed Antiox-10. The active ingredient is Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera) 10mg. Millie receives one capsule daily. I should also mention that we also have been giving Millie 400 I.U. Vitamin E every other day, and had been doing so long before we began the Antiox-10

Since starting her on the Antiox-10, Millie's blood sugars have spiked 100 to 200 points. While Millie's blood sugars have been a challenge to regulate, we have never seen such severe peaks and lows.

Can you tell me if Antiox-10 may be causing these wild swings in Millie's blood glucose? Or, can you refer me to someone or someplace that may have information about adverse side effects of Grape Seed Extract in canines as it pertains to diabetes.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Linda
