Greetings...Newly diagnosed...

[Jayden and Kim]

Jayden was diagnosed 5/11/18, age 12, with bg over 400. Started on vetsulin and came back to life from months of bad moods. After 2 days of flooding, urinary output improved right away after insulin treatment. Getting supplies established and in 1st week of shots. She has always been an intense kitty. Going to attempt home testing and look forward to our 1st vet test in 2 weeks. Thankful for all the information provided here. I plan on learning as much as i can and am willing to do whatever it takes to get Jayden regulated and happy...blessings to all...

Hi Jayden and Kim. Welcome to FDMB
That is great you are going to test the BSLs. It's the one way to be able to keep your kitty safe.
Ask lots of questions! It is a steep learning curve in the beginning but soon it will be old hat!
Here is a link to lots of valuable info

We have our injection routine down after a rough start. I do it quick while she eats sitting on a padded bench and so far so good. Created a secret feeding chamber to sneak extra kibble to my other two kitties. We are all adjusting to our new routine...thank you all..

Welcome to you and Jayden. It's pretty bewildering at first, but you are determined to help your fur baby. Read the info, learn to test (it's so important), so you aren't shooting blind. If you are changing to all wet food that can lower BG, and you will want to know. This is a wonderful resource with incredible people.
