Changed Cat food to Fancy Feast/ Meow mix maybe (orange platic bottom with pull off top) In a can. He is no longer diabetic. You need to do some research on-line and thank me when you save alot of money. Patches is a Snow shoe cat he not only lost weight but no longer "sick". He runs around and attacks things and plays. He is 9 years old and we changed his food 2 years ago. Rambo the Mainecoon eats anything (human food, loves peanuts) and rules the house/yard. Boil chicken and raw meat are good too. You need to do research online and save your cats and money. Its the first 3 things its made off that really matter. |

Guitarjohn User ID: 49307162 United States 11/04/2013 05:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well I have a diabetic cat I have to give her insulin every day. She takes Lantus, the same stuff they use for people. I have only been giving it to her for about 3 months. The vet had some extra insulin they gave to me so I didnt have to buy any right away. I called the vet today to get a refill on her prescription. Last month when I called to check prices the cheapest place I found was sams club for $98. Today the vet told me it is now $198 for the same size vial at sams club. I was quite confused and asked why, she said "Its because of obamacare. Now that everyone has to have insurance the drug companies can charge whatever they want" Quoting: Marax Lucky for me that vial will last about 6 months, so I can afford it. But what about the people that use 1 or more of those vials a month? I didn't know cats could be afflicted with diabetes. That's so sad. I used to have two cats, I loved them. I hope your cat will be okay. If you need help , just write me peace |

Sanofi raised the U.S. wholesale price of its Lantus vials by almost 15 percent to $16.64 per milliliter and of its Lantus Solostar injection pens by almost 10 percent to $18.38 per milliliter, Jack Cox, a spokesman for Paris-based Sanofi, said in an e-mail.

No kidding Snip; Obamacare was officially declared a big, fat tax and now, the IRS is moving forward with plans to tax pretty much everything it can. I've already written extensively about the job and innovation killing medical device tax, but according to a GAO report, the IRS has the authority to tax drug companies for the number of life saving medications it sells. As a result, drug prices go up and costs are passed onto patients who need those medications. Snip2;Compared to comparable existing individual and family plan copays and coinsurance costs, consumers with prescription drug coverage can expect to pay an average of 34 percent more out of pocket for these medications if trends continue.

You are clueless about diabetes. Do you even know the difference between type I (juvenille) and type II (adult onset) diabetes? Type I has nothing to do with weight. I know four people with type I diabetes, 2 are children, 2 are grown but dx as kids, all are thin and fit. |
