Cat Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus affects cats, dogs, and humans.
It's characterized by high blood sugar, also known as hyperglycemia.
Around one in four hundred cats is diagnosed with cat diabetes, so you
are not alone in caring for a diabetic animal.
When your cat is diagnosed with feline diabetes, you might be worried about the quality of your cat's life and if you will be able to care for her.

probably have a lot of questions. What type of food should
you be feeding your cat? How much extra time will your cat
require? What do you do with your cat when you need to leave
town? How much will this all cost?
