I have a question about…Diabetic Dogs

I have an 8 yr old male poodle mix who’s recently been diagnosed as being diabetic.I have 2 questions. 1.I cook for him boiled turkey w/brown rice & sometimes w/green beans. What else may I fix for a variety and sufficient nutrients? 2.I give him his insulin shots based on what the vet says his blood sugar is. Question 2: Is there a way I can check his blood sugar at home? Twice daily trips to the vet is becoming more expensive than the insulin,test strips and syrings.

I have a question about my mini golden doodle, 3 1/2 years old, 20 pounds

She has allergies and is scratching and then bites herself. The Vet gave her Simplicef antiobiotic and it gave her loose stool and now diarrhea. She was eating Natural Balance chicken and Sweet potato and I add chicken breast that I buy at the market. My aunt who recommended you very highly suggested Caster & Pollack Organics, Chicken and Brown Rice which I am going to gie her 1/2 can – My vet prescribed Hills Prescription but I was not happy with ingredients.
Do you think the Organics is good? What about cooking for her, chicken and brown rice? My husband died recently and she is a rescue dog.
