My diabetic cat is on proving insulin which is expensive. Is there an otc human equivalent insulin?
I’m assuming you meant ProZinc insulin and if so there is unfortunately not a cheaper alternative. While less expensive human insulin can on rare occasions be used successfully in cats it usually does not provide good control of diabetes. You also need to start over with dosing and frequent monitoring when switching from one insulin to another which would increase cost. It’s probably best to stick with ProZinc if Mikey is well regulated.

Is there anything alternative for insulin to cure diabetes in cats? Like some kind of home remedies etc?
Unfortunately for diabetes type one insulin it is necessary. For type two diabetes, dietary change (low carbohydrates diet) and oral hypoglycemic medications are available as well but their use needs to be discussed with your local veterinarian.

Hello. My cat has diabetes. Presently she has injections of 4ml twice a day (morning & evening). I have an electronic insulin blood calculator. If I take 5 readings in one day and pass the results to you will you be able to tell me if to increase or
Hi, you would probably need to go through a consultation as this allows several messages and much more in depth advice. Important information such as when was she first diagnosed and what dosage of insulin she was started on and if she had any blood tests afterwards and what they indicated. What was her initial weight and how is her weight doing. What do you normally feed her and what times. Is she allowed to go outside, what other medications is she on. There are lots of things to consider and a face to face examination is always advisable at least once every six months. However in the short term, you could have a consultation with one of the experts here, hope this helps !

Hi, my cat was diagnosed with feline diabetes. I'm not really wanting to give her shots. I have been researching products for the diabetes and found several different things. Is there any options other than insulin and needles. Thanks
There is a small amount of cats that can actually go into remission with a diet change. It is not forever as she will eventually need insulin, but it is worth a try to avoid that as long as possible. Talk to you vet about diet options as far as prescription diets vs over the counter. It does need to be canned food though and the carbohydrate needs to be under 10%.

Can I administer buprenorphine with prednisolone for a cat that has IBD (it was used before) and now has diabetes (not sure if it is steroid induced yet) but he is in pain and I would like to help him once he lets me near him to give him the insulin.
Yes all of those medications can be given together. It will be important to consider other treatment options for the IBD if he is diabetic. Steroids will make it more difficult to manage the Diabetes. There are other types of steroids and/or options for IBD if needed. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!
