Insulin pens offer several advantages over traditional syringes, including more precise dosing, ease of handling, and reduced discomfort for both the cat and the owner.
Understanding the symptoms, recognising what to look for, and knowing what can be done to manage the condition is essential for cat owners.
Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune, Type 2 involves insulin resistance, and Type 3c stems from pancreatic damage (e.g., pancreatitis). In cats, most diabetes is Type 2, though pancreatitis may cause secondary diabetes.
