Anyone else got a diabetic cat?  Our cat, Kimmy, is an OAC tabby at 19 years old and has recently been diagnosed, so has insulin injections with her nosh...no hassle really, although she did have a hypoglycemic episode the other night....cured by chopping the needle off an insulin syringe and using the adapted syringe to get honey into her mouth.  It'd be good to know if anyone else has a similar challenge with their mog :thumbsup:

Recently departed Pippin lived with diabetes for several years and managed to get away with only 1 hypo in that time. We all coped with it (plus hyperthyroidism to boot) fine until she was captured by general decrepitude at almost 20 a few weeks ago. ... hope Kimmy does as well.
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.
