Welcome.
Have you had a chance to look at the FAQ section?
Can you tell us about your kitty, what food you use, how your kitty was diagnosed? Are you starting insulin? If so, what kind?

Hi to you, and, of course, your extra-sweet cat (names would be good...),
And, learn you will!
Welcome to the place you never wanted to be; but, will be blessed for having found.
Encouraging hugs for you both,
Deb and Nikki -- and, Giz, forever dancing in my heart...
PS: Giz was diagnosed a month and a half after her 14th Birthday. We danced for four more years...

Just wanted to say hello. My cat Max was diagnosed in early January. It can be a little overwhelming at first, going from knowing nothing about diabetes to needing to know everything, but you've come to the right place. The advice I've received here has been invaluable and has really helped me turn Max's health around. Read the FAQ's and everything you can and ask questions. The members here are amazing and want to help.

Hello to everyone! Humans and their cat(2)_steam
I am Diane and my cat Suzie, age about 8, was diagnosed a month ago. She was obsessed with her water bowl (she hung her head over it) and peed huge pee balls, so I knew something was wrong. Her insulin levels were up to 400 when I brought her in but now she is regulated at about 120. I am using Lantus 100units/ml and syringe needles. She doesn't mind the needles at all!! We settle down and I put Suzie in my lap, stroke her neck and give her the needle. I am also feeding her Purina DM. Her vet bills this year will probably reach around $1500. If anyone knows a cheaper place to buy the Lantus please let me know!! My CVS pharmacy is charging $128 for the vial and $35 for the needles and I can't afford to go on like this! :sad:
Hugs to all the sugar kitties and their owners.

Hi Diane,
Welcome! Can you copy your post and start a new topic? You may get lost at the end of this other thread. I would include Lantus in your subject to attract the eyes of Lantus users.
