Vet Journal Article: Survival, remission, and quality of life in diabetic cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine 2023 January 13

Results: The response rate was 35%, leaving 477 questionnaires for analysis. The
remission rate among treated cats was 29% (118/405). Feeding a commercially available wet diet was associated with both remission (OR 3.16, 95% confidence interval
1.27-8.12) and remission without relapse (OR 14.8, 95% confidence interval
2.25-153.8). Remission was associated with a better QoL for the cat.
Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The association between feeding a commercially available wet diet and remission is important and strengthens the role of diet in
treatment of DM in cats. Linking remission and a better QoL for the cat emphasizes
remission as a goal in disease management.
