Cashew has diabetes now?!

It's been 20 months since Cashew's insulinoma surgery so it's awesome!

However, Cashew has been drinking a lot of water (maybe even more than me!) and peeing a lot!  I mean, her pee sounds like a water hose.

Something seemed off so I Googled what it can be.  Of course, the usual all sorts of cancer/disease or... diabetes.

So, I gave Cashew a night to sleep it off and checked in the morning with her enemy, Alphatrak 2 and OH NO, her Blood Glucose is 412mg/dl!


Relatively good news is that, if it's diabetes, it can be controlled with insulin.  It sucks, but I'm a bit relieved.

Sent a message over to Cashew's vet at Adobe Animal Hospital to see what are the next steps.

Don't worry buddy!  You will feel normal again soon!

Other than that, she's doing alright.  Walks and ball playing are getting shorter, but we still fight for bed space, she still tries to get out of my hugs, eats at the dinner table, loves my magic tricks, she's living fine.
