Advice is needed. My 14y/o cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. We"re still aquiring information to make the best decision for our cat. Does anybody here have any experience? Or tips? I am able to afford the insulin, I just want to know what's best for him. I don't want to elongate his suffering but it feels devastating either way.

I have a 16 year old that was diagnosed as diabetic 6 years ago. I regularly give him his shots and switched him to diabetic food. I haven't really seen any difference in the years since. He is just recently starting to loose his hearing but I think that is just due to his age. Otherwise, he is happy and healthy. Oh, and he has been FIV positive since birth.
