I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes shortly after my daughter was born in 2008. I also have low thyroid and arthritis that (thankfully) only flares up once in a while. Thanks for creating this group.
I have a cat with the opposite problem, Hathir is hyperthyroid. A friend of mine picked him up off the end of her driveway because he could no longer walk and brought him to the vet. I've got him up from 6 pounds to 9 pounds. He loves humans, but has PTSD issues with other cats from years of being beaten up on the streets. He's about 9-12 now, so middle aged.
One of my senior cats was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after he lost half his body weight. So I'm sharing insulin with him and I've got him back up to 10 pounds.
@JulieBFree, my cat Peeshee had diabetes, but they never specified type. I bought Lantus for him for years. He died of Kidney Cancer a few years ago.
@TaraMarshall That's what I'm sharing with Jersey, my Lantus. They actually didn't specify with him, I just typed that out of habit.

Posted by PiperMckennaI'm quite prone to bruising because of EDS....any tips on how to reduce the look of bruises? Ideally I'd like to prevent them. But it's too late for that today. haha
