good news
so i got the results of the 2nd test i ran on my kitty's bloodwork (fructosamine test) and he is NOT diabetic! woohoo! glucose was just elevated due to how much stress he was under while at the vet. god i am so relieved. all i need to do now is get the dog on a rx diet for her urine crystals and they're good to go. phew. i did not want to put my cat on insulin. i would've and i know how to do it and do the curves and everything, but it's just an added expense that i did NOT need right now. so phew!
