Hello from Mr Bo

Our lovely ginger and white (neutered) tom who is around 12 yrs old was diagnosed with diabetes about three weeks ago. He is on insulin twice a day (1.5 units) but his count was still high when checked at our vets on Monday (29 and that was 7 hours after his last insulin injection), I am very anxious about him and would appreciate some tips / help. I would like to buy a good quality food that will help him and also would appreciate advice on blood monitors etc. for home testing We are in the UK. Thank you all in advance!

Hi Deb, thank you for your comments and the links. My name is Ruth. Mr Bo is my husband's cat. We are experienced cat parents and have previously cared for cats with pancreatitis, mouth cancer and auto immune anaemia. I have so very concerned about our lovely boy Mr Bo. I plan to order the glucose monitor today / tomorrow from Amazon and can call into Pets at Home the day after tomorrow so I can get a better food for him. Any and all advice much appreciated. Thank you x
