Peaches is 15 yrs old.

Today is the birthday of our cat Peaches.  It has been over 3.5 yrs. since she was first diagnosed with diabetes.  We have done our best to regulate her, but have been unsuccessful.  But she is a wonder that amazes our vet.  Her BG numbers can be off the meter and yet she continues to function.  We give her lots of attention with special diet, extra fluids and lots of vitamins and supplements.  We give her a supplement from the U.S. that is suppose to reduce her BG but doesn't, but does appear to give her lots of energy and a nice fur coat.  She is on two types of insulin, twice a day, and the doses of insulin remains total guesswork.  It has been a month since we had to put our dog, Muffy to sleep, and although in later years Peaches and Muffy paid little attention to each other, they were company to each other.  We think we are seeing some signs of Peaches missing Muffy.  We don't know how many of her 9 lives Peaches has used up, but we know that she is a fighter and lots of energy when she wants to exhibit it.
