Diabetes in Cats

Cats can suffer from daibetes. The symptoms include:

• Cat is allways hungry
• She has lost weight even though she is eating well
• She is thirsty all of the time
• The cat is peeing all of the time

Like Humans the cat's blood sugar level needs to be contolled. If the diabetes is not too severe it can be controlled by diet and there are a number of foods available to help you control their diet. If your cat needs insulin then it will have to be given injections and you will have to learn about injecting insulin, storage and checking blood sugar levels- just as you would with a human.

 As with humans, diabetes in cats is hard worked and the blood sugar levels have to be monitored but good control can lead to a normal life.
