Does your cat have Diabetes?

Diabetes is not a death sentence, no life span needs to be lost and you can have your whole cat back if you just put in a bit of effort and be proactive in treatment

This is a disease where you need to be proactive and be the primary caregiver with the vet as a secondary source. I can help you

Here are some tidbits

Doses should never be raised based on fructosamines or a single test. That could be dangerous

Curves at the vets can be off by more the 100 points due to stress and other factors making his dosing advice unreliable at best

Insulin needs can change over time

Are you feeding DM or MD?? You can do oh so much better for cheaper.

Were doses ever raised by more then 1/2 bid? They shouldn't be

Are you giving more then 5 bid of insulin? sigh

Do you home test or know how to? it is the only way to know if it is safe to give insulin and get the info u need to treat this correctly. I can teach you how.

There is nothing in this for me except the pleasure of helping

I have owned and adopted diabetic cats for years and have worked on a diabetes board with 100's of other diabetic cat owners. I have helped many go into remission or be well controlled. No I am not a vet
