Duchess is diabetic again

[cjsmith]

Well, dang. Here we go again: Duchess is diabetic. Her remission didn't last long! Poor kitty. (Poor my wallet.)

Well, ok, maybe Duchess wouldn't be unhappy if she understood the news. This will mean kitty treats twice a day.

Duchess has a remission too! Cats are odd that way. But it didn't last long, and now she needs insulin again.

I don't check her blood sugar level at home, and I think I should start. My doc agrees with your doc that a blood sugar level that seems noticeably high for a human is not so bad for a cat, because we don't do such excellent matching of insulin doses to food as humans do and because it is more dangerous for a cat (who cannot speak or understand what to do) to go low.

Thanks for your words. I feel with you, too. It is not easy. I hope your cat does well.
