6/21 Max AMPS 92 +2 184 +6 115 +9 129 PMPS 286 Max’s 1 year FD anniversary and thank you.

Max’s one year diabetes anniversary is in a couple of days. We joined FDMB about a month after his diagnosis. At first I was super overwhelmed but there was someone here who particularly helped me so much in the beginning, that was Marje and Gracie. She spent so much time answering my questions and reassuring me. Thank you so much Marje. I’ve learned so much in the past year and went through three vets before I ever found anyone willing to work with me and not against me. We love our vet now and she is happy with Max’s treatment regimen and thinks I’m doing a good job with a very complex cat. I don’t know about all that, but I have learned way more about feline diabetes, acromegaly, IAA, pancreatitis, IBD…. than I ever thought I would know. I would have never known about acromegaly and the treatments available to him had I not found FDMB. I’m forever thankful. Max is very important to me and for a long time I practically gave up my normal life to care for him. It’s still a lot but I’ve learned to balance his care with some of the other things I enjoy in my life. Thank you @Wendy&Neko for being so patient with me for this past year and educating me so much. When Marje told me about you being here and all of your experience, I remember feeling so much relief that there was at least one person in this world who could help me. I can never thank you enough. To everyone else who has come to our rescue on here, I appreciate you more than you know. Thanks also to the ones who have encouraged me and so many others every day. We’ve come so far and I’m still hoping and praying for Max to get somewhat regulated one of these days soon. I’m still learning as we go, and don’t expect Max to go into remission although I really hope I can get him better regulated soon. We are making some progress compared to what we were a year ago. Thanks to you all for your time and being here.
 
You're doing better at one year in than I was. Of course, I was mostly alone without any other peeps with acros on here. A bunch had fled to a closed FB group, and I refused to go there due to personalities there. I found it interesting to look at my first posts when I was a year in. And also to look at the kitty and see how much better he is now. Quality of life is the main goal.
