From what I'm gathering from my vet and from on-line sources is that in a lot of cases, once the diabetic cat is a "happy" diabetic rather than a sick one, it's possible to get off insulin and control blood sugar with diet -- a very high protein diet, like kitten food.

One of the problems, at least as I see it, is we feed an animal corn and wheat and rice when cats naturally should have a very high protein diet.

Gotta go -- and give Mortimer his insulin injection (and freeze-dried shrimp treat).
