 The vet said “You are now the owner of a cat with diabetes.” It is funny how a moment in time can be so life altering. It’s only my cat–not my kids–so it’s not the worst thing that can happen to a person. But all of a sudden diabetes went from a little on my […] This recipe is a version of the gluten free potato almond crackers/matzah that are a staple at our house. These crackers are good for people who prefer cashews or are intolerant of almonds. Cashews give baked goods a rich, buttery taste and I love grinding them finely into a flour and adding as many as […] I attended a lecture at Mount Sinai School of Medicine about Breast Cancer, Early Puberty and Endocrine Disruptors. Here is link to an op-ed piece in the New York Times called Cancer in the Kitchen which a good synopsis of the lecture.

Her Heatherness - My cat has had diabetes for years. He was able to go off the insulin for a year or so, but it came back so he had to get back on it again. He was the only cat I knew that had diabetes before hearing of yours.

Betsy - I used to think that my mom was silly for always saying 'when it rains, it pours,' but that is how my life has been lately. I do really well for a while and then something will set me off.
I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your week and that your kitty does well with his/her/its new med.
Frau Guten Tag - I had a diabetic cat in the past. We tried oral drugs first, with no success. Then we put her on insulin. I had to time her feedings–I bought a feeding bowl on a timer. In time I was able to stop needing the insulin by changing her diet. That is often the case with type 2 diabetes. A couple of years later she died of cancer unfortunately. But the vet who diagnosed her suggested I just put her to sleep & I found a new vet–I was always so glad I didn't put her to sleep for having diabetes.
