Posting this here in hopes it gives someone a little hope! My girl was diagnosed in June of last year. She spent 15 months on Bexacat and did very well until about March when she started having terrible UTI’s. After our 6th or so trip to the ER (I lost count), my vet and I decided to do a curve with a pet calibrated continuous glucose monitor to see where her numbers were in real time and gauge appropriate insulin doses. Much to everyone’s surprise, her numbers were right in line with a non diabetic cat! Like most vets, mine was under the strict impress cats on SGLT inhibitors do not go into remission. Zoey is the (grumpy) living proof they do! Pic of her in her medical shirt following placement of her sensor for cat tax. 😼😹

Hey guys, over a month ago my kitty Clyde was diagnosed with diabetes and last tuesday he went in for his 2nd libre monitor and it was showing really low numbers.

I stopped insulin and got him into the vet thar friday to check that the readings were accurate... They were!!! After continuing to monitor his glucose this last week, the doctors are confident he is in remission!!!

I'm going to continue keeping him on his wet food diet to try to keep him in remission

I was really panicking when he was diagnosed, blaming myself, and not knowing what to do and if I could. Thank you for everyone who commented and helped on my initial post! 💙

I've added some of my favorite pictures of him here 💙🥺

Hi all! Initially I was a lurker on this sub, and I picked up all of your recommendations on food, treats, and glucose monitoring. You inspired me to get a Glucose Monitor (my vet did not recommend one) and found out through diet, his glucose was down on his own. I panicked about dosing again, as my vet advised to continue it, and you guys flooded me with tons of guidelines and resources. I continued to glucose monitor, and we are now 16 days insulin free with glucose readings around 90! Just wanted to say my ornery son is back to biting me for attention and harassing me, and has even started to recover from his limp. Thank you guys so much for giving him back to me ❤️We had a short diabetes journey that gave me a few gray hairs, and I’m so grateful for how helpful this sub has been.
