THANK YOU For Existing… ❤️

Our 99% was diagnosed last Saturday, and I have spent every free moment scouring the Internet for information…which, as we all know, isn’t always comprehensive - or correct. If I hadn’t found this site I would have made some costly (and possibly harmful) decisions about food and insulin brand. I am still going through all the info this site (and forum) has, but I wanted to take a beat and give you all HUGE and heartfelt gratitude.

I know that all of you have been through the shock and fear I am going through right now, but finding this little corner of the Web has lessened my panic and I am so utterly grateful.

You will see me lots. If I can’t find the answer I will ask. And ask. And ask. Hopefully, I will one day be able to pass on your kindness and education to someone else.

In the meantime, I just wanted to say thank you - and tell you ALL that you are amazing creatures.

 

Hi and welcome to you and your beautiful kitty.
Let us know how we can help you.
The best insulins for cats are Lantus ( which I prefer) or Prozinc.
The best starting dose for these insulins is 0.5 to 1 Unit.
Feed a low carb diet and look at hometesting the blood glucose.
Ask lots of questions
