The vet is pleased with Taz’s progress. At his appointment last week, his blood sugar was down to 300, one of its lowest readings so far. The vet says we can have him checked again in two weeks (a milestone, since it’s been at least weekly up till now), and maybe at that time we can declare him regulated.

I still worry every time I see him drinking water, but he’s certainly not in feline camel mode like before. He’s still having some trouble with his hind legs (diabetic neuropathy and arthritis), but I’ve read that the neuropathy can clear up after some weeks of good blood sugar regulation. I’d love to see him walking normally again, but I sure hope he wouldn’t try to jump up on the fridge like he used to; right now that’s the only safe place to leave non-DM kibble out for Suzie and Mickie.
