About Obi

Obi was just (June 28, 2019) diagnosed with diabetes AND to top it all, his kidney’s are compromised as well…a dietary nightmare, as one is very different from the other. This will be about our journey, 2 humans & 2 furry brothers, to figure this all out and get Obi back to a healthier happier self!!
