First time poster...long time reader

Hi all! I guess I've been a member here since Rory was diagnosed about 9 years ago, but I've never needed to post!
So, I'm Cristy. Rory is my sugarcat. Like I said, he was diagnosed about 9 years ago, and has been well regulated and healthy until recently. I finally got brave enough to start home testing less than a week ago and found my way back here for help.
Rory is one of 3 kitties at our house. He's the middle kid at 16 years old. Tigger is the matriarch at 20 years, and Charlie is the baby at 2 years old. We just got Charlie in June, after losing our 18 year old, Sunny, to kidney failure. We first thought Rory's behavior was because he was missing his buddy (and not real thrilled with the new arrival), but now I'm guessing his diabetes was changing.
I look forward to learning from you all and getting to know you and your kitties!

 

Hi Cristy and Rory and welcome! So glad you have decided to post.
So sorry you lost your Sunny.

I am so glad you have decided to test the blood sugars!

And any other issues.

There are a couple of housekeeping things you could also do.
If you could set up your signature that would be very helpful

Welcome Cristy, Rory and the rest of the gang! I am glad you decided to post and even happier that you have begun home testing. Bron has provided all the information for the signature and spreadsheet and these tools will be so very helpful in getting and keeping Rory to optimum health and well being. It's going to be exciting getting to know you and the kitties and watching Rory's progress.
