"My diabetic cat Oliver is finally regulated and all signs of diabetes are gone. His coat is gorgeous and he's back to his normal self... The members of this forum not only inspired me to give care, but also they taught me how to do it."

- Anonymous Caregiver

"The people here gave me the confidence and encouragement to start doing home tests instead of relying on vet visits... After exploring our home records and more tests, my Leo is officially considered to be in remission... Finding this website was absolutely the turning point in our journey."

"We thought we were going to lose Cookie last week... Thanks to good advice on here, she has not had insulin since Friday morning and her numbers are ranging from 80 to 120. The best advice I received here is what got her there... I hope I can come back and help others the way I was helped."

- Cookie's Mom

"If I didn't take the advice from experienced members here, my Tyler wouldn't be in remission since January of 2024."

Feline diabetes can be overwhelming at first - but you're not alone

With the right tools, knowledge, and support, managing your cat’s diabetes becomes not only doable, but empowering. While we’re not veterinarians, we are a community of everyday cat caregivers who’ve walked this path. Many of us have firsthand experience and have come together to share what we’ve learned along the way.

Our community

If you’re new here, your first stop should be the Feline Diabetes Management Board (FDMB). Experienced members are ready to help guide you.

Why this site exists

When your cat is diagnosed with diabetes, it can feel like chaos—new terms, tough choices, and mounting costs with no clear direction. FelineDiabetes.org was built by people who’ve lived it. We’re here to help you test, treat, feed, and fight for your cat—with real-world advice and support from those who’ve been in your shoes.

Backed by research

This site is run entirely by volunteers, not medical professionals. We’re here to share support—not to replace your vet. Always consult a licensed veterinarian when making treatment decisions. But if you’re looking for reassurance, shared experience, or just someone who understands what you’re going through, you’ll find it here. The guidance you’ll find here is grounded in science. Our core practices follow the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Diabetes Management Guidelines and are informed by research like the landmark Rand & Romp study, which demonstrated the effectiveness of home monitoring and other methods we follow.
