Hi,
My name is Amy & we have been managing our 14 yr old cat's diabetes since this March. I had a feeling he was diabetic after a few weeks of large puddles in the litterbox, loud meowing, and increased appetite and thirst. He's managed pretty well on insulin 2 units BID and increased protein diet.
Not even two months later we became foster parents to a diabetic cat - he was returned to the animal rescue I am involved with due to his owner's inability to financially care for his needs. Banjo is about 7 yrs old but looks much older. His levels aren't stabilized and he's dropped a pound in just over a month. Our vet is monitoring him closely and he's now on 1 unit BID.
I look forward to learning from this group!
