wetware: ScarletRose: I'm coming to terms with it, it's not a death sentence, but will require lots of discipline.One of the people from the feline diabetes messege board spent an hour on the phone with me yesterday discussing so many aspects of the situation,what a tribute to her late cat.People can be so helpful and kind in situations such as this, cuz I really didn't have a clue.I will be looking to have Molly taken off the pills and put on the insulin immediatly.I learned that the pills virtually squeeze out all the insulin they can from the pancreas,making it work extra hard.The insulin provides a break for the pancreas,giving it time to heal , regenerate and possibly allow the cat to stop taking insulin at some point.Yes Scarlet,diet will be important,we're going to go to a raw diet.I'm learning so much,and everybody has been so helpful
