The cat is monitored frequently during the first few months of treatment; The cat eats a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein.

Insulin resistance can vary greatly between cats. In some cases glycaemic control can be achieved with doses of 1 to 3 U/cat b.i.d., a 'normal' level of insulin dosage. Insulin levels should be increased by 0.5 to 1 U/cat b.i.d. every 5 to 7 days until glycaemic control has been achieved (blood glucose level of 100 to 300 mg/dL).
Between 15.29% and 38.6% of preschoolers grind their teeth at least one night a week. All but one of the included studies reports decreasing bruxist prevalence as age increased, as well as a higher prevalence among boys than girls.

Hypocretin regulates sleep and states ...
