How do you treat feline diabetes?

There are two common approaches to treating and managing feline diabetes:
 
Insulin therapy: Injectable insulin is the standard treatment for feline diabetes. Insulin injections are given under the skin approximately every 12 hours. A few types of insulin are available, so consulting with your vet to find the right one is crucial.

Dietary therapy: A diet with low carbohydrates can improve blood sugar regulation. Selecting prescription food or wet food can help regulate insulin levels and blood glucose levels. Consulting with your vet to find proper dietary therapy is essential to monitor the disease and ensure your cat is receiving proper nutrients while minimizing the risks of diabetes.

By treating diabetes, you can help your cat:
- Restore normal blood glucose levels
- Control and regulate weight loss or gain
- Reduce thirst and increased urination
- Avoid low blood sugar levels, which can affect their physical well-being
- Reduce the risk of severe complications like diabetes ketoacidosis
