Marci and Buddy

my Buddy was diagnosed. How could this be?i thought he was just thirsty alot because of the heat in my apt(guess it's true denial is not just a river in Egypt).I hadn't known anyone with diabetes before , except when i was young I knew my grandmother had it - but Buddy was adopted (don't tell him ).
so it's been a year of gradually accepting and learning all about this disease and changing my life to accommodate it. Read food lables, cut back on entertaining to afford supplies and vet, be home by amps+12, learn a new language-speaking in abbreviations...( in LL most peeps know that ECID,at times we need BOS, other timesTOR,yet others we have to be the tank to help the BG's, depends on the WCR.) You all know the deal.
But really what I want to say is a great big THANK YOU to everyone. If i had followed my vet 's advice i would have one very sick cat on my hands..."dont do blood tests at home just bring him in, 2u vetsulin,dry food ok" and no mention of hypo signs. Buddy is rarely sick these days-in fact he gets better all the time-i say hes 14 going on 4 ;-)
This morning after breakfast,I mean brefus , he was playing the piano upside down(on his back kneading) looking so happy, and I only have all of you to thank-all of you so genourous with your time and knowledge and care..I am very moved and ET(eternally grateful)
