IMG_0314.JPG But not in a good way right now...diagnosed with diabetes and started on insulin yesterday. She's 10 and a half and had been losing weight. Although I'm sad she has this illness, I am relieved it is a condition that can be managed. I'm grateful for this forum!
 
Welcome.
If you have any question please post in the Health forum

Most of us here test our cat's blood glucose at home using a human meter. We test before each shot and periodically between shots. We record our reading and other info in a spreadsheet. See:

What are you feeding? A low-carb canned is best. No reason for a prescription food. Here is a list of commercial low-carb canned

Welcome! We can help. Larry gave you some good links to start. Post all your questions on the main health forum. :)
 
Thank you! I am a seasoned nurse but feel like a total newbie when it comes to feline diabetes. I am sure that Lucy and I (and her sister,Daisy) will benefit from everyone's experience.
