What results typically can be expected from Caninsulin therapy in cats?
Cats are usually started on 1 to 2 IU of Caninsulin per injection twice daily. Glycemic control is evaluated based on clinical signs and blood glucose curves, supported by other laboratory results, such as fructosamine. Adjustment of the Caninsulin dose is made according to clinical improvement, average blood glucose concentrations, and blood glucose curve nadirs. Treated cats have significantly lower blood glucose levels and a reduction in hyperglycemia-associated clinical signs compared with pretreatment levels. Diabetic remission is also observed.
