2/5 I became a member just today. My name is Kathy and my diabetic cat's name is Sherlock. My Sherlock, unlike the famous detective and a few other Sherlocks, is a female. Occasionally, I call her Sherly, but my youngest child who named the cat, does not like my calling her Sherly. Besides that, other pertinent information about Sherlock is that she has two siblings that also live with us. They are all 13.5 years old, and all have had at least one significant health event. Sherlock's event was her going into ketoacidosis, which led to her diabetes diagnosis. I'm happy to say she is doing quite well on glargine insulin.

Welcome to FDMB.
It would be very helpful if you could take a look at this post on helping us to help you. It outlines some of the basics -- like adding a signature to your posts along with setting up a spreadsheet. The signature gives us some basic information about Sherlock so we don't keep pestering you with the same questions. The spreadsheet will allow you to track Sherlock's progress and we can follow along and offer guidance should you want it.
How is your cat eating? Getting enough calories, preferably with low carbohydrate, canned food is really important when a cat is recovering from DKA.
