Thank you to this group

[Boo's Mom]

This is a reintroduction. I first visited this site many years ago in a panic when my cat, Boucle, was first diagnosed. Thanks to the wonderful people of this site, I gained knowledge about low carb diets, glucometers, etc., etc.... The info. was new to my vet, and he was willing to try the new method (low carb, not high carb diet, checking levels and adjusting insulin). So, despite my fear and squeamish nature, I learned to check Boo's levels, and he was eventually able to go off insulin completely. He died last Saturday at the age of 21---years and years after his diagnosis. He had a wonderful life.....I KNOW that the quality of his life and his longevity are due to the knowledge and generosity of the people on this site. If you are a newbie, I hope you can gain hope from Boucle's story. It WILL get easier...You WILL get stronger, too....Peace, Love, and Prayers for the diabetic cats and the people who love them!

I'm sorry to hear that Boucle has crossed the rainbow bridge, but ever so glad that with the love, care and treatment you gave him, enabled him to live such a long and happy life. You both were blessed by such a friendship and he's just waiting for you to be able to be with him again. Thank you for your encouraging words, They can be taken to heart not only by new members, but all of us. Peace, comfort and many hugs!
