[RC] insulin resistant horses? - mary

Have a friend who was told her horse is insulin resistant.
Does anyone have a horse with this problem? What do you do special with them? Do you use a glucometer on them to test?
This poor guy got rain rot every year, fungus on his feet, foundered on one hind foot, then foundered on both front feet.  This is a horse that had great care.  The vet did a blood test and found he was double the normal horse. He's only 7.
 
thanks,
Mary
