Folks with diabetic cats might be interested in this thread on the
Feline Diabetes Board. To summarize, many diabetic cats have their need for insulin lowered, or even stopped needing it at all, after their diet is changed to exclude dry cat food, and switched to a very low carbohydrate cat food. (Wellness is one.)
Of course not every cat reacts the same way, and sometimes diabetes is just genetically fated no matter what you do, but all cats benefit from a very-low-carb wet diet.
I've lost both human and cat dearly-beloveds to diabetes. I hate it. If you've got a diabetic cat - or any cat, really - seriously, take a look at this site.
Poor Senor Sock. I hope today finds him in better health and spirits.
Much -ma to Senor Sock. And continued -ma to Teddy. Cats of the world (or, at least, board), get healthy.
All kinds of ~ma to Senor Sock and tommyrot.
~ma to Senor Sock (how much do I love that name? So dearly).
Aw, poor tommy & Senor Socks. Sucks, but it is dealable. Scary how quickly it came on! MK was a slow ramp up of other symptoms, but no collapse. Eek!
Stayed up way too late cause the 'rents called and dad & I just kept going off on tangent after tangent and suddenly it was almost 2 am. Ack! I've taken several naps.
I'm watching the Life on Mars mini-marathon on BBCA and right before they started the first episode they ran a little PSA that said something like - Even British people sometimes find British accents difficult to understand so use Close Captioning - and included directions on how to get your close captioning to work.
It was hilarious.

Much ~ma to Senor Sock and tommy. How scary! I'm so glad it turned out to be something treatable.

Can I go back to bed now?
On the bright side, I got almost 8 hours in a week of 4s and 5s, and my sore throat isn't
very
bad.
so, I'm sitting on the front steps of my apartment building, waiting for a return call from the 'emergency' number because I can't get in the door of my apartment because the lock is broken. whee!
