Hello. I'm Terri, and my sweet Sonny was just diagnosed today. He will spend tomorrow at our vet's to try to get regulated and come home in the afternoon. May need to go back on Saturday though. His reading today was 559. Yeah, I typed that right. He was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with mild hyperthyroid which is now controlled.
Diabetes is a new one for us. We have 2 angel cats who we battled hyperthyroid with, and 2 angels who left us from CRF and old age. Our babies usually live until at least 17. I'm not certain exactly how old Sonny is...he was my mom's cat, and mom passed over 6 years ago...I know she had him at least 8 years, but it may have been as many as 12 or 14. We rescued him from a bad situation with my former stepdad 4 years ago and he's so wonderful. If we'd only known, we'd have brought him home with us immediately after she died.
He's a good boy. Was very good during his blood draw. The vet is giong to start him on humulin in the morning.
