Hi Tilda!



Yes, it is very good news that no glucose or ketones have been found in Tommy's urine recently.



Does your vet think it's ok to wait for her assistant to return before retesting Tommy's blood? It's what I believe I would do in your situation, but please remember that I am not a doctor.



In the meantime, it would be good to keep Tommy on a canned-food diet if that is possible, or at least a diet high in protein. Some diabetic cats have been able to get off insulin after being placed on a high protein diet, or at least they have required a smaller dose. Makes sense if you think about it, as carbs raise blood sugar.



I am always willing to price glucometers here and look into shipping if that will help.



Take care, and please keep us updated.
