Treatment will consist of daily insulin injections and feeding a suitable diet in relation to Puffy's blood tests results and physical examination.Your vet will help you formulate a treatment plan and explain all the things you have to do at home, how to give injections and how to recognize hypoglicaemia (low sugar) or ketoacidosis. In some cats remission of diabetes is possible over the course of time.
