Hello, from Tiger and me.

Hi everyone. Found this group through Facebook and am looking forward to participating and getting feedback on working through diabetes with Tiger.

Tiger was diagnosed last week. And I am still learning about all this and what to do. Thank you to everyone who has helped answer my questions on Facebook so far, I'm looking forward to more interactions with people on here.

 

Welcome to FDMB, the best place you never wanted to be.

There are 4 things you'll need to manage your kitty's diabetes:
- You - without your commitment, the following won't work.
- Low carb over the counter canned or raw diet, such as many Friskies pates. See Cat Info for more info. If already on insulin, you must be home testing before changing the diet.
- A long-lasting insulin such as ProZinc, Lantus, BCP PZI, or Levemir.
- And home blood glucose monitoring with an inexpensive human glucometer such as the WalMart Relion Confirm or Target Up and Up (the pet ones will break your budget!).

 

Welcome Stephanie! I'm happy to see you made it over here from the Facebook group!

The people here have a lot of experience to share with you, and we all look forward to seeing you post and learning as much as you can about the "sugardance" as we call it!

 

Welcome Stephanie and Tiger.
