I'm so glad I found this forum! I'm sure I'll be reading a lot over the next few weeks...
Maxwell Cornwallace, age 12 was diagnosed with diabetes on Friday. He had lost a bunch of weight, and is drinking a lot of water and peeing a lot. Acts starving all the time. I figured either kidney disease or diabetes. Honestly, I was either in denial or defeat and put off going to the vet for a while. I've had Max since he was 6 weeks old. My husband was convinced that Max wouldn't take well to insulin shots and that it would make his life miserable and he would hate us (his father has Type 1 diabetes). Once we got the diagnosis, I wanted to at least try the shots. FYI, our financial situation isn't awesome. So...that's where we are now. Max is getting insulin shots twice a day and so far (knock on wood!) he doesn't really notice them if I give them while he's eating. So I look forward to commiserating and learning on this forum.
