Just discovered my cat has diabetes. He's young to already get it (turning 7 in Feb) and although he's a big cat (15lbs), he's not overweight according to the vet.
His formal owner really spoiled the little guy, and when I took over his care, I had to put him on a strict diet to get his weight under control. Thought we were making good progress

Anyways, he started losing too much weight, and because there were other signs like constant urination and thirst, the vet took a look at him and diagnosed diabetes.

It's been interesting week so far. I've gotten the hang of testing his blood sugars (you prick the ear, and amazingly, cats will let you do that) and giving insulin injections

Anyways, just wanted to put it out there on CP
