Hi all, new here and just wanted to give a little intro.
This beautiful boy is Mufasa (Moody). I got him in 2013 (he was 8 years old then) from a not so great person who wanted to kill him. We quickly connected and I became his human slave.
He's always been a healthy boy except for the nasty flea allergy he gets about once a year.
In late October 2020 I began to suspect he had diabetes based on the increased water consumption and the weightloss. However at the same time my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer and had back surgery which left him unable to walk. All my attention went to helping my dad out. April 2nd 2021 my dad passed away.
So April 22 I was able to finally get my baby Moody to the vet, after getting everything else settled.
His sugar was 600 but no ketones in urine.
The vet recommended changing his diet and gave us a list, started us on 1unit of Prozinc 2x a day, and set us up for a curve in 2 weeks.
I will be doing home monitoring after I come back on May 3rd from helping my mother in law move. My husband will be here giving him his insulin while I am gone but works 12 hours so I'm not sure how much testing he could do between work and sleep.
We just wanted to check in and say Hi and give everyone a little info on us.
