It's me again!! Just wanted to say that my cat, Cookie, is thriving like a little weed! She is doing great. She likes the Hill's Science Diet m/d food ~ both canned and dry ~ (nicknamed "Catkins Diet" because of being high protein/low carb cat food) just fine and the twice-daily insulin injections are no problem whatsoever. She actually purrs the whole time as she knows that mealtime follows each shot. She is noticeably healthier and happier and I fully expect her to live a long, long life. There is no cure for Diabetes and she will have to be on insulin for the rest of her life, but it is nothing to dread as I did at the beginning. We are doing fine and just wanted to let everyone know that this turned out to be such a minor problem compared to many other health issues that we might have been faced with. I consider Cookie and myself lucky. Her dosage remains low (only 2 units twice a day) and she need not go back to the vet to be retested for six months. She has been on insulin now for about 9 weeks.
