    Hi,
    I am a veterinary professional (tech) who has referred many clients to this site for support over the years. I now have decided to take the plunge and adopt a dm cat myself. The shelter I volunteer for was struggling to place a cranky old tortie who had been newly diagnosed with dm. I just lost one of my family kitties and figured, why not, I have the knowledge, am comfortable with the injections, diet and bg's. So we welcomed a new family member, loving named Diabetty by my husband.

    I am discovering this is more challenging to have a dm kitty at home than expected but we are figuring it out. The better she feels the more personality I am seeing! Your experiences and references here have been a great help in getting us settled at home. I decided rather than just lurking, I'd join the community. Thank you so much for being a supportive community of cat lovers, especially those with special needs.

    Welcome to the forum. For you it will be easy as pie. Many new members are put off by syringes and testing.

    I have always felt the biggest challenge is finding the custom routine that fits with your kitteh.
