Good luck with your baby. our Patchs was diabetic for 16 years. You do have to keep a close eye on them. A couple of times we came home to a passed out cat and then the run to the emergency clinic. BUT I would not change a thing, she was my girl and she has be gone for 8 years now I still miss her very much. She knew that every morning before she was feed that she had to have her shot.
