My Chi Snoopy finished his script of Prednisone. I since have been sprinkling a pinch of dry tumeric on his food. This leaves me wondering if it is helping any of his pain from inflammation. And does it affect his levels of blood glucose.

Turmeric is said to possess natural anti inflammatory properties. It may also promote regulation of blood glucose levels. Sprinkling this spice on food is not as effective as making a paste. The paste is better metabolized reaping the most benefits. You can use your preferred online search engine and search for "golden paste, turmeric" for a recipe of which there are many.
