Diabetes in cats is very common, and it is caused by a lack of insulin production in the pancreas. Look for a cat that drinks and urinates frequently as a sign of diabetes withhelp from a staff veterinarian in this free video on cat health and pet care. Expert: Dr. James Talbott Bio: Dr. James R.

@Leenao Lantus is probably more expensive. I pay about a hundred bucks for a vile. My 18 lb cat takes just over 2 IU. He takes much less when I feed him strictly fresh wild salmon and/or Wellness wet cat food.
Found out he was diabetic after his severe upper respiratory sickness and urinating outside his box. Hind legs were going into paralysis and he was vomiting all the time. Drank tons of water and passed much of it into the litter.
Drawing blood is a pain.. I agree.
Hope it helps.
My cat has diabetics. The vet gave him pills which did no good at all, he continued to lose weight. He got down to 6lbs. My cousin is diabetic so he’s checking the cat and put him on insulin. He’s sharing. Poor cats sugar was over 600 at first. He’s using humilin on him. it’s only been 2 days. We are having trouble getting the blood from his ear however.
Thank you doctor .
My cat been on Caninsulin/ Vetsulin for 4 month .. 1.5 IU .
If I want to change for Lantus .. human insulin , what would be the right amount ?
Thanks
