About this Lecture
This lecture will update our knowledge about diabetes mellitus (DM) in cats, including its prevalence, its most common causes, diagnostic considerations, treatment options, methods of monitoring during ongoing treatment, and prognosis. Focus will be given to considering a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of these cases, thinking about what the owner can practically cope with when looking after their cat with DM. Attention will be given to all treatment options, including exercise, diet, oral hypoglycaemic drugs, and insulin. Of the oral hypoglycaemic drugs, the new sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors will be considered in some detail (e.g., velagliflozin e.g. Senvelgo™ and bexaglifozin e.g. Bexacat™).
