==========================================

 From the research I've done, many people are thinking there is a gentic 
aspect to both cushings and insulin resistance, plus my mare has many siblings 
that have developed syptoms of these conditions, as well as founder. Insulin 
resistance is often misdiagnosed as cushings; my vet initially wanted to test 
my mare  for cushings and put her on pergolide but I decided against either and 
have been succesful in managing her through diet. Insulin resistance is still 
often misdiagnosed as cushings, though as more research becomes available, this 
probably won't be the case any more.  Some vets keep up on research better than 
others, so it's best to find out all you can, then make an educated decision 
for yourself.
