Feline diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a common condition in cats where the body cannot properly use insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. This leads to high blood sugar, which can cause various health issues if left untreated. Symptoms may include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and increased appetite. The exact cause of feline diabetes is not fully understood, but factors such as obesity, age, and genetics can contribute to its development. Treatment often involves a combination of dietary changes, insulin injections, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels to help manage the condition effectively.
