Hello from Jessie and Griff Kitty

Hello all,

So, my Griff Kitty was just diagnosed today with diabetes. I am a bit shocked because I thought I was feeding a good diet: grain free kibble, grain free canned and raw meat.

Anyhoo, Griff's blood glucose was 540. I am being prescribed Prozinc 3cc 2 x per day. I have been doing lots of research and the first thing I am doing is pulling the kibble.

I am worried about insulin dosages with diet change. Oh, and being a needle phobic person, I am not looking forward to any of this. I am supposed to start tonite...........

Scared........

Jessie

Welcome! I am new here as well. I was super nervous to do the whole needle thing too, but it's been about a month and a half and it's safe to say I'm pretty good at it now I'm pretty sure the needles are so sharp now that they can't even feel it, if that makes you feel any better. You'll do great!

 

Welcome!
