Hello all. I just recently found about this forum and am very excited to be a part of it. My kitty Prissy was just diagnosed this week with diabetes and it has been a very emotional and stressful time. The potential insulin costs and care of her are a bit overwhelming. I am also a recent diabetic and am on 4 shots a day so am also struggling to keep my own health in check. I have immediately changed her diet to wet food and am meeting with the vet tomorrow to discuss insulin (Lantus) and learn how to administer and test her blood. Any advise anyone has would be welcome. Thank you all for taking the time to read this

Hi and welcome Stephanie and Prissy. I remember very well the feelings that go with the feline diabetic diagnosis, but you are in the right place to find information, advice and support as you navigate this new journey.
Just as you are treating your own diabetes, you will learn the best methods of treatment for Prissy. You are already educated in some areas like insulin injections and testing, as well as being proactive in changing Prissy's diet. Good for you! and good for Prissy.
