Hi, just got diabetes diagnosis

Hi, I’m Jay and these are my cats, Jinx (ginger girl) and Jethro (black and white boy). They are littermates, now 12 years old (weren’t in this photo) and neutered. It was Jinx who last week started drinking huge amounts, miaowing like mad, and peeing everywhere.

Vet has checked blood and urine and say diabetes, nothing else to worry about in either sample. He is ordering in insulin and syringes, which should arrive tomorrow. I am about to head out to buy low carb food.



A couple of questions:
1. What food do folk in the UK feed, and
2. What glucose monitors do folk in the UK use?

 

Welcome! I see you've already found your way to the main health forum with your questions.

 

Yes and I've answered there.
