How can Angora cats prevent diabetes? In fact, Turkish Angora cats over seven years old are often prone to diabetes. The cause is due to the lack of pancreatic hormones (i.e. insulin). So is there any way to prevent it?

It most commonly occurs in obese cats or castrated male cats. Cats weighing more than 7 kilograms are twice as likely to develop diabetes as cats weighing less than 7 kilograms, and many diabetic cats are on a diet and lose weight. After the cat loses weight, its blood sugar will return to normal values, so maintain the old cat's weight and avoid giving it unnecessary food to prevent the occurrence of diabetes.

Symptoms of diabetes include eating too much, drinking too much, and urinating too much. Although cats with diabetes eat more, they lose weight. Without immediate treatment, it can lead to coma, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, weakness, and general paralysis. Your veterinarian can determine whether you have diabetes through blood and urine tests.

The treatment of diabetes includes food control, only low-sugar and high-fiber foods, and insulin injections. Human hypoglycemic drugs can also be used to treat cats when appropriate. Generally, veterinarians will train owners to control the cat's blood sugar concentration by injecting insulin at home.
