Hi,
My cat has been diagnosed with diabetes for about 2 years and I still don't have her regulated. She drinks a huge amount of water and as a result, floods the litter box every day. Before finding this site, I had no idea you could home test! I know my cat needs it but my vet never mentioned it to me. Unfortunetly, I am not working now and I can barely afford the insulin.
She currently takes Humulin N @ 4 & 4 and I feed her Purina cat chow indoor formula, 1 cup every 12 hours. I have another cat that in not diabetic, so that is for both of them. I read in the faqs that this type of insulin is probably not appropriate for her but it is what the vet prescribed.
She seems healthy and is fairly active but her weight is actually to high. I would feed her less, but if I don't feed as much as I do, she cries and follows me everywhere until the next feeding.
I could really use some help from someone that knows more than my vet. I am in St. Paul Park, MN. Pitton is my son's cat but I love her too. Also, I am going to go broke buying cat litter! nailbite_smile
Thanks!
