Good Morning everyone - got another new housemate last night - time flies it seems - and young people rotate through my house. LOL

.

Jim glad they have a plan. I have lots of people in my family with diabetes, and some of them are in hard core issues. My chief brother has serious high blood pressure, which even with meds, he struggles to wrangle. Good Luck - glad they caught it early.

btw Patti - one of the biggest issues for homeless kitties is access to clean drinking water and they often suffer from dehydration. 

Comment by Fabulous Heather Days of Summer on May 10, 2012 at 10:58pm

Patty if they are going to put down the kitties, it is commonly better to take them and get them neutered and vaccinated and then let them live out their natural lives in the barn or neighboring area - especially if you can give them a sheltered spot and daily food and water.

Yeah i need to ramp up my controlled cardio activity as well... so I don't slide in that same direction.

did the doc link it just to weight?

can he give you medicine?

does it have something to do with the stress of the job and physical influence of being in emergency mode all the time?

I once spent a bunch of time at Boston's FD and they were discussing how they had huge issues on their depts with high cholesterol from the adrenaline dumps into the body - then the false alarms, or short calls, in which that adrenaline did not have time to burn off and instead turn into evil cholesterol in the body which highly influenced their other body issues, like diabetes.

Patty, hope this new doctor can move this process along for you at a more consistent stable pace... Big Prayers coming your way...

.

All of my local humane societies euthanize the cats AND kittens. They told me that they adopt less than 8 per month, and kill more than 1000 per shelter. Please ask your shelter if there is any possibility that these kitties will actually get adopted... I suspect they will not...   The ONLY ones that the shelters here even try to adopt are highly social, weaned, and litter-box trained... that does not at all sound like the kitties who are homeless... Perhaps instead someone could take them, and the mama in, as a foster care giver to get them weaned, litter-box trained, vaccinated, and even neutered - and then find them - and the mom adoptive homes.

.

Or do some research and find a NO KILL kitty rescue in your area that can take in the family and try to get them sufficiently raised - because the humane society these days IS NOT HUMANE mostly !!!

So Jim, what did the doc say was the course of action for being borderline diabetic - as related to your workload, industry, and lifestyle?
