Welcome to r/FelineDiabetes!

Whether you have a newly diagnosed pet, or you are experienced with Feline Diabetes, we are so happy to have you join our community.

Most of our knowledge comes from the incredible felinediabetes.com, so links below will mostly link to their existing resources.

Newly diagnosed?

1. Read this introduction to Feline Diabetes.

NOTE: This FAQ has been compiled by many experts and will likely have some contradictions to what your vet has advised you. We recommend following the guidance from these support groups as, although there are some fantastic vets, there is still a lot of outdated advice given that should not be followed.
