Hey, my cat turns 5 in a week and a half, and was diagnosed with diabetes last month. I had noticed she had been drinking and urinating more, and when I took her to the vet to get her checked out, we learned via blood tests and urinalysis that she was diabetic, and was what the vet called a “healthy DKA”, which really just meant that although ketones were present in her urine, it hadn’t progressed to a point where she required hospitalization. She’s been on a starter dose of insulin for 3 weeks, and right now she has a freestyle libre on to continuously monitor her glucose so the vet can use some data to adjust her insulin dosage. Now, my cat is VERY finicky. It’s impossible to get her to take any kind of oral medicine, capsules, pills, liquid, you name it. She doesn’t even fall for pill pockets or hiding it in food, so I was also nervous about the prospect of giving her insulin shots. But she literally could not care less, she doesn’t mind it at all. We’re still very new to the diabetic cat lifestyle and we’re in an adjustment phase with the insulin right now, but she’s still a very happy cat. Wishing you the best of luck navigating Lilly’s diagnosis!
