Also interested in treating Type 1 diabetic horses. Any further information to what I'm going to say is much appreciated.

I'm no veterinarian, nor pharmacist, just familiar with human Type 1 physiology. And Type 2 is sure to be more complicated as Type 2 horses face a wider variety of unique levels of beta cell production, insulin resistance and dietary concerns.

Pondering it for my Type 1 horse who only takes quick acting insulin in bolus and basal dosing (pump), I can not think of a single reason to be concerned outside of the typical "monitor glucose and adjust insulin / eat accordingly in response to unexpected glucose changes".

That said my horse has never needed Ivermectin (lucky horse!) so I haven't consulted with its veterinarian, nor researched Ivermectins known interactions.

I suspect my horse would be fine, but would pay extra attention if giving it Ivermectin when it is ill, as illness, generally, effects glucose levels in unpredictable ways.
