Feline Diabetes can be overwhelming at first - but you're not alone

Take a deep breath and relax; we’re here to help you. Cat diabetes is a treatable, manageable condition. You can maintain your sanity and your cat’s health, all on a reasonable budget. Medical doctors and veterinarians and many diabetic cat caretakers contribute to this site with knowledge you can trust.

"The people here gave me the confidence and encouragement to start doing home tests instead of relying on vet visits... After exploring our home records and more tests, my Leo is officially considered to be in remission... Finding this website was absolutely the turning point in our journey."

– Paige

"My diabetic cat Oliver is finally regulated and all signs of diabetes are gone. His coat is gorgeous and he's back to his normal self... The members of this forum not only inspired me to give care, but also they taught me how to do it."

"We thought we were going to lose Cookie last week... Thanks to good advice on here, she has not had insulin since Friday morning and her numbers are ranging from 80 to 120. The best advice I received here is what got her there... I hope I can come back and help others the way I was helped."

– Cookie’s Mom

"If I didn't take the advice from experienced members here, my Tyler wouldn't be in remission since January of 2024."

– Diane Tyler’s Mom

Why this website exists

When your cat is diagnosed with diabetes, it can feel like chaos – new terms, tough choices, and mounting costs with no clear direction. FelineDiabetes.com was built by people who’ve lived it. We’re here to help you test, treat, feed, and fight for your cat – with real-world advice and support from those who’ve been in your shoes.

How it works

You’ll find helpful information on topics like diet, home testing, insulin tips, and general health – right on the FDMB (Feline Diabetes Message Board), our community forum. The site also features beginner guides, real-life tips from experienced caregivers, and educational content that continues to grow and evolve. We’re constantly working to expand and organize resources to make your journey a little easier.

Backed by research

This site is run entirely by volunteers, not medical professionals. We’re here to share support – not to replace your vet. Always consult a licensed veterinarian when making treatment decisions. But if you’re looking for reassurance, shared experience, or just someone who understands what you’re going through, you’ll find it here. The guidance you’ll find here is grounded in science. Our core practices follow the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Diabetes Management Guidelines and are informed by research like the landmark Rand & Roomp study, which demonstrated the effectiveness of home monitoring and other methods we follow.
