Steroids :s

hello my cat diggy has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. He’s been on steroids (dexamethasone) for his asthma which helps him tremendously.
So my worry is... he needs his rhoids but I’m afraid it’s not going to let me regulate his diabetes. Any suggestions?

 

Welcome! If Diggy needs steroids then it will make things a bit more difficult, but certainly not impossible. We have others with both conditions that may have suggestions for you. Come to the Main health forum and tell us more about Diggy. Include the word asthma in your thread title to get some attention

 

Welcome! Hi Diggys mum! My cat has diabetes diagnosed in August 17. About 4 months ago she began having problems with IBD. (Irritable Bowel Disease) After trying multiple medications & remedy’s, the vet decided that she needed a steroid. So while Baby doesn’t always have perfect bg numbers, it is very easy to dose insulin as needed. You can dose for both! We have stickie notes to read at the top of each forum that provide a wealth of information. Please ask any questions that you need.
