Cat has diabetes, would like some advice please?
I have just found out 2 weeks ago that my cat has diabetes, she was losing weight so i took her to the vet, she put her on insulin and is doing fine, have to bring her in in 2 weeks for monitoring for the whole day. Does anyone have a diabetic cat? Are there any people foods that are okay to feed her, right now she is eating Perscription Diet MD, wet and dry, any advice would be helpful, I'm so nervous about her, I just hope that I can take care of her properly

Yes, make sure she has a high protein diet and is not taking in high carbohydrate dry food. I'm not sure what is in the Prescription Diet MD, so can't really comment.

NO people food, keep her on the prescription diet. It is the grains in the cat food that causes the diabetes in the first place. Too much carbs and not enough protein. Cats are true carnivores, they don't need vegetable matter, which is why they get diabetes from the commercial cat foods. Unfortunately some cats do not do so well on insulin. It is possible that after a short period of improvement, she may get worse. That happened to my cat, although she was 10 years old when diagnosed and we think she had it for a while, but was misdiagnosed by a vet.
