As many of you know I had to put my cat, Kallie, down in March after she went into renal failure. I then became worried about my other cat, Wilma, so I took her to the vet for a check-up. Kallie is on the left and Wilma is on the right. Upon the results of her lab tests the vet diagnosed her with diabetes. I was really upset, but gave the whole situation to the Lord and jumped right in with becoming the kitty nurse and administering insulin to my cat. The first time I gave Wilma the injection I manged to stick myself first as well. I have to admit I became a little nervous at that point about how well this whole process was going to go.Over the past few months, the insulin amount for Wilma has increased and then decreased and now Wilma is no longer receiving insulin injections and she is able to maintain a normal blood sugar level on her own. We have had to adjust the amount and type of her food (there is a lot of crying over the decrease in the amount), but she is doing just great! We are also working on getting some exercise, but from the looks of things the treadmill is not for Wilma!
