Tilly is a 12 year old, spayed cat and lives in Germany. From March 2004 to March 2005 she suffered from diabetes, but subsequently went into remission with a relatively new insulin called Lantus.
I have set up this site to hopefully give other people with diabetic cats some new ideas. I have attempted to include the most important information, in particular those things I wish I had known when Tilly was first diagnosed, but that I had to slowly learn over many months:
• What is the best diet for a diabetic cat?
• Which insulin promotes regulation and has the highest remission rates?
• What are good dosing protocols for Lantus and Levemir in cats?
• What is the newest scientific research on feline diabetes?
• What else do you need to watch out for?
I am not a vet, just someone who was forced to confront this disease because of the illness of my cat.
I would like to thank Tilly's vets for their dedication and being up-to-date on the latest research, for the scientists who showed us the path to remission and, of course, to Tilly - you always hung in there and trusted me that I would do my very best to find a way for you to return to health.
