Hello everyone.

Tiki has been OTJ since last April but it appears we are heading back as his BG numbers have been increasing over the last couple of months. We went to the vet today who had suggested that perhaps our normal diet of Fancy Feast isn't enough to keep his numbers down and suggested feeding him the prescription DM. Given that many on the FDMB's have not had good things to say about this food I thought I should do some research online and instead found some great videos (which were even helpful to me and I've been there and already done all that) regarding FD. Thought I'd share the link for the newbies who are overwhelmed with everything. The videos do a great job of explaining the medical side of FD as well as what life is like living with a cat with FD.

Hope this helps! Click the links on the left side of the page and each video will play (you don't have to buy it).

hi Tonya

sorry that Tiki is back from the Falls, hoping its just a short 'vacation'!

some good info in the videos! Thanks for posting.
I'd just like to make 1 comment that it does say the info on the site is sponsored by Purina - so obviously they will have a vested interest in pushing their food.

Very true on the Purina point - but there is very little pushing of the product in the videos!

I appreciated the Sesame Street-like chemistry cartoons making the biology of diabetes make sense for a change. :oops:
