I have a lot of experience with cats and diabetes my cat midnight developed it when he was 15. We tried everything to get him stabilized on insulin. In the end he kept having **** gland ruptures and other complications. I had to put him to sleep. He was my cat and he only liked me. He was a tuxedo cat that fit him perfectly. He was a huge gentleman lol. He was pretty wild too. I miss him so much.

Tiger started on cheaper insulin like 5 months ago. I can't spell the name. But yes he is a very expensive cat, lol. Hes on joint supplements, his diabetic food is 60 dollars, and his insulin. Hes my sons cat so the last thing we need is to lose him. I mean my son is completely bonded with him.

I've had tiger spend many days at the vet getting his blood sugar checked every hour. My vet gives me a discount bc he had to do that about 4 times. He has to go back next Wednesday to be monitored all day again. He does seem a lot better tho at this lower dose. Sometimes older cats develop a sensitivity to insulin. So that's why he lowered it.

I wish you luck concerning Sidney. I hope things get worked out and you have many more years with him.
