Dear Listers, Has anyone had a horse with a high glucose level and any experience with a horse that insulin resistance, especially in terms of having a foal? This Fjord mare has just had a extremely thorough physical presale exam. Everything checked out okay except the glucose which came in at 120. The potential buyer felt that this might interfere with her being able to foal. Mare is 18 years old and is somewhat overweight which may be a factor. She did have a foal three years ago. Several articles in Horse Journal suggest that giving 3 teaspoons of magnesium may help. Any input on this? Thanks Krist in Northwest Washington State
