Just diagnosed

My cat, Mini was just diagnosed this week. She is gravely ill, with terrible neuropathy already. Hoping to find suggestions before it's too late!

 

Welcome.
Good insulins are the human Lantus and Levemir and the pet insulins ProZinc and BCP PZI. For those two human insulin it is best to get the 5 pack of 3 ml disposable pens via a 10 ml vial. Although per ml the vial is less expensive most cats will not use up a 10 ml vial before the insulin goes bad/becomes ineffective. The human insulin N/NPH is sometimes prescribed but only lasts 8-10 hours. Same for the pet insulin Vetsulin/Caninisulin.
Most of us here test or cats blood glucose at home using a human meter. We test before each shot and periodically between shots. We record our reading and other info in a spreadsheet. See:

What are you feeding? A low-carb canned is best. No reason for a prescription food. Here is a list of commercial low-carb canned

To help with the neuropathy many caretaker use Zoblaine (Methyl B12) is which over the counter.

 

Thanks. I am testing at home. And because she has IBD also, she is on a low carb wet food already. This has just hit her so fast and furious already. I did post in the health forum just a bit ago.
