Completely OT - Diabetic pets

This is completely OT, but I know that you are a group of pet lovers

and I'm hoping that someone here may have some experience of this. One

of my cats has just been confirmed as diabetic. I had suspected it

since last week as she was drinking water by the bucket load and

flooding her litter tray. It must be borderline as the first set of

tests showed her to be diabetic, a second lot seemed to say she wasn't

and a third test today indicates that she is. Thankfully I have pet

insurance. It will have to be controlled with daily insulin injections

and a special diet and the vet is hopeful that if she loses some weight

she may be able to reverse it.

 

Does anyone here have experience of this? I am a bit nervous about

giving the injections but she is a very affectionate cat and loves any

attention. I understand that the needle is very fine so I'm hoping that

she won't be too bothered by it, if I can incorporate it into a daily

petting and grooming session. If you have been through this I would be

grateful if you could contact me off-list.

TIA

Christie
