The reason I ask is that it will be VERY difficult to give insulin injections twice every day at the same times as members of the family are always coming and going and having someone at home at the right times will not always be possible.
Could it be possible to switch to a more regulated diet and keep things in check? By the sounds of things once insulin injections are begun it must be continued.
Also I’ve read alot about the dry vs wet food, but our vet has assigned us dry food again, which the cat has been eating 90% of the time for the past 5 years. Should we keep with the vets advice or would a low-carb wet food diet be better?
Hi
”
Someone sent tme this link cause they know that I can help you. I hope it’s not too late and youj receive this answer,
ISome cats can be controlled by diet but many need insulin to give the pancreas a jumpstart. You don’t want to feed the dry food that the vet gave you. Dry food is most likely the reason your cat got diabetes in the first place
You want to feed canned foods under 10% carbs (not all fish) This list gives the breakdown

The 12 hour rule between shots ios not writiten in stone and you may be aboe to work around that. You should start insulin even if it is 1 shot a day. if you are willing to learn, I will teach you how to hometest so you may be able to give the shots at odd hours while protecting your cat. Insulin wears off so there is no you have to continue. Please email me as you don’t allow email to you
