I know sometimes we suggest you do something different than what your vet says, but please be aware that vets get about 5 hours of training on diabetes in vet school, and that covers both cats and dogs! So it's no wonder most vets don't know a lot about diabetes. We aren't vets, but many of us have been doing this a long time, with multiple cats. We're sharing the benefit of lots of years of experience. When someone gives you guidance, take a look at their signature block, the date they joined, etc., and you can use that to weigh the likelyhood that the suggestions they make are from that experience. Always remember, though - it's your cat, and you hold the syringe. We're just trying to help!
