Cats that are diagnosed
with diabetes mellitus (insulin diabetes) will have an individual response to
therapy. The treatment regimen for diabetes cases in cats is based to a large
extent on the severity of the symptoms and whether the cat has other health
issues that could complicate the treatment regimen.
Some cats may already be
seriously ill when they are first diagnosed, so they will require intensive
treatment and hospitalization for several days until the blood sugar levels are
regulated and stable.
Oral medication and/or a
high-fiber diet may be indicated for cats that are stable when diagnosed with
diabetes.
Insulin injections are
generally necessary for most cats diagnosed with diabetes to keep their blood
glucose well-regulated. There is a need to establish the amount of insulin that
will be given based on the cat’s weight and response
to treatment.
