    Thanks everyone. I had always thought that Diabetes was pretty tolerable with cats, so I was a bit startled when the vet said that about the 6 months. Socks is otherwise perfectly fine and seems like normal except for him going to the bathroom a lot. If we do have to start the injections, I think he'll probably handle them ok. He has always had good vet visit manners and didn't fuss when he got shots, so hopefully he'll tolerate them ok if we have to go that route.

    Currently he is on a special food that the vet said was the newest most cutting edge thing. We'll see what happens. After 2 weeks of having the food and receiving anti-biotics for an infection, he'll go in for more tests to see if we need to start with the injections.
