We've just had the same diagnosis with Matty, our ginger lummox. Any advice or info from your journey will be gratefully received, ditto any other #cat servants whose feline masters also have #diabetes
Matty has suddenly started scratching out great clumps of fur. I understand dermatitis is often part of the package. 🙄

@blingoali@mastodonapp.uk mine was getting frequent ear infections, we think the steroids might be what pushed him into it. I’m only a week into it, but: The vet supplied syringes were very long and difficult to accurately dose his 1.5units of lantus. I found the Sanofi JuniorStar pen and my pharmacy ordered it for me, it’s much easier with the pen. For pricking his ears I found using a bare lancet rather than the lancing pen was easier/more accurate. The lancing pet was simply too big.
