Abstract

This article summarizes current literature on diabetic remission in cats. Treatment options for diabetes mellitus are reviewed to highlight which protocols are most effective in achieving remission, as well as the importance of understanding the underlying pathophysiology that contributes to remission. In addition, current research into the glucose tolerance status of cats in diabetic remission and rates of relapse are discussed.
