Exam Room Extra! Feline diabetes mellitus, pt 4: insulin and monitoring

In the last of four Q&A videos on feline diabetes mellitus, Prof Stijn Niessen answers questions from Vet Times users on the topics of insulin and monitoring.




Exam Room Extra! Feline diabetes mellitus, pt 4: insulin and monitoring

Insulin and monitoring are the topics discussed by internal medicine specialist Stijn Niessen in the final part of our inaugural Examination Room Extra! series.

Examination Room Extra! is a new video feature where we put Vet Times users’ questions to a fellow veterinary professional. This first series is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.

Questions

Following previous video discussions on food, remission, acromegaly and more, the questions posed to Prof Niessen in this final part are:

  • Is there any value in performing a blood glucose (BG) curve in a cat, considering their stress levels?
  • Can you ever wean a stable diabetic on to oral hypoglycemics?
  • How should vets decide which insulin to use in cats?
  • What veterinary licensed alternatives are there in the UK?
