I am so happy right now I can't even think. Robby had blood work done this afternoon and his levels as the Doctor said are AMAZING!!! 6 weeks ago his blood sugar level was OFF the chart, Dr. Tucker guessing at about 1000. Normal is between 200 and 400. Today his level is 464 just after a few weeks. If they had been around 600 then I would have had to hospitalize him so they could have started him on insulin. BUT Robby did it. Just a complete diet change has saved his life. Man, what a relief for Robby and I. He is such an amazing baby... I'm very teary right now as you guys can probably tell I actually keep running down to his room and kissing him and telling him I love him....he gets all excited and says "THAT'S IT" Not only is his blood sugar level down but all other levels that were off just a little are all normal. Dr. Tucker said that I just made a very sick little guy into a normal bird again. I'm crying again. But they are happy tears.

Thank you both. I wanted to shout it from the roof top when I found out his results. Like my neighbors would even know what I was screaming He is amazing and made it very easy for me to help him. I just had to know what was wrong first. To think it's almost been 2 years since the first vet visit on this and finally after changing vets it's only been 6 weeks for a total turn around.

I can not walk in my bird room without taking him out and kissing him. And trust me he's loving it. He fought this for so long and without me knowing what was wrong I couldn't help him. But we kept trying and after a very long time we are now on the road to recovery. thank you everyone for all your kind words and virtual kisses....Robby loves kisses.
