In October 2005 Peter received two Depomedrol shots for his lip infection. He developed diabetes one month later (DX 11/9/05). His weight went from 17.5 lb to 14 lb in four weeks. Food: My vet recommended Hills MD dry (Peter would not eat any canned cat food). After doing some research I switched him to raw meat diet (rabbit and chicken) with a little bit of EVO dry and boiled chicken meat as a treat. I use a Free Style Flash meter. 4/1/06 Started Levemir.
