Advice is needed. My 14y/o cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. We"re still aquiring information to make the best decision for our cat. Does anybody here have any experience? Or tips? I am able to afford the insulin, I just want to know what's best for him. I don't want to elongate his suffering but it feels devastating either way.

My sisters 16 year old cat has been taking insulin injections for the last few years, she’s happy as a clam. Doesn’t pay any attention to the injection, the only tricky part is making sure she eats before needle time. Its given her years of happy retirement
