What a beautiful dog! Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Here is some helpful information on Blood Sugar and the ravages of glycation, particularly in the context of aging:

The news story opening this thread finds that:
“older patients whose risk factors are controlled, intensive glucose control does not add any significant benefit,” he said.”
This seems to me to be missing the point. In older patients who have Diabetes, glycation, which is the ultimate cause of so many of the symptoms of Diabetes, has run its course already. Glycation is irreversible, and so it should not be surprising that lowering blood sugar late in life does not reduce the cardiovascular risk associated with Diabetes. But in the effort to prevent glycation, low blood sugar is everything.
