The Life and Times of a Diabetic Cat
Junior's doing pretty well. We're getting him into a routine - he's fed twice a day, has a half hour to eat, and then gets his insulin shot: 2 units, twice a day, to be adjusted after his next vet visit and blood work.
He's still drinking a bit more than normal, but nowhere near what he was drinking just before taking him in. He seems a bit more energetic, as well - though that could just be that he's getting more regular doses of attention (even if said attention comes complete with a jab in the shoulder or hips).
It has made life a bit more complicated, but we'll figure it out. We can't assume friends are able to pop in twice a day and feed/medicate him, so we're starting the search for a trustworthy pet-sitter to attend to him while we're in California over Thanksgiving.

Good luck with the cat sitter. Finding someone that you trust to enter your house every other day is hard enough.
