The signs of diabetes are caused by a persistently high blood glucose concentration, which may be caused by either insufficient insulin or by a lack of response to insulin. [8] Most cats have a type of diabetes similar to human type 2 diabetes, with β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. [9]
The same study found 6 of the 14 cats to achieve diabetic remission within 6 months with an average of 3.6 months. [15] Diabetic remission may occur as late as a year after radiotherapy. Improvement of diabetic symptoms occurs in roughly 70-80% of cases, diabetic remission occurs in roughly 50%.
Gastroparesis (gastro- from Ancient Greek γαστήρ – gaster, "stomach"; and -paresis, πάρεσις – "partial paralysis") is a medical disorder of ineffective neuromuscular contractions (peristalsis) of the stomach, resulting in food and liquid remaining in the stomach for a prolonged period of time.
Gastroparesis and anorexia nervosa are two distinct illnesses, however, there is evidence of gastroparesis and gastrointestinal motility issues resulting from anorexia nervosa. Researchers suspect ...
In the case of autoimmune neuropathy, treatment with immunomodulatory therapies is done. If diabetes mellitus is the cause, control of blood glucose is important. [1] Treatment can include proton-pump inhibitors and H 2 receptor antagonists used for digestive symptoms such as acid reflux. [41]
[3] [2] Among people with diabetes, prevention starts with learning the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. [3] [2] Diabetes medications, like insulin, sulfonylureas, and biguanides can also be adjusted or stopped to prevent hypoglycemia. [3] [2] Frequent and routine blood glucose testing is recommended.
Diabetic neuropathy is implicated in 50–75% of nontraumatic amputations. The main risk factor for diabetic neuropathy is hyperglycemia. In the DCCT (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, 1995) study, the annual incidence of neuropathy was 2% per year but dropped to 0.56% with intensive treatment of Type 1 diabetics.
