Diabetic cat
Diabetic cat
Advice is needed. My 14y/o cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. We"re still aquiring information to make the best decision for our cat. Does anybody here have any experience? Or tips? I am able to afford the insulin, I just want to know what's best for him. I don't want to elongate his suffering but it feels devastating either way.

My first cat was diagnosed as diabetic at 9 years old. He lived to 17. We tested him daily - which he didn't mind at all - and usually ended up giving him one shot of insulin per day.
He was the same old cat the entire time. I'm really glad we learned how to take care of him because now I'm not worried about having another diabetic cat. It's just another thing to check on. Cats are just so accommodating when they know you're taking care of them.
