Feline Diabetes
Feline diabetes is a condition in cats where the body cannot properly use insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. This can lead to high blood sugar, causing symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss. It is similar to diabetes in humans and can affect cats of any age, though it is more common in overweight or older cats.
Treatment for feline diabetes typically involves insulin injections and dietary changes to help manage blood sugar levels. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential for monitoring the cat's condition and adjusting treatment as needed. With proper care, many cats can lead healthy lives despite this condition.
