If your Aegean cat has been diagnosed with feline diabetes, ask your vet about the medications your cat will require. Not all cats need insulin injections. Some cats may simply need to have their blood sugar or glucose levels regulated with oral medication. Generally, cats that are diagnosed in the early stages of diabetes will do well on an oral medication along with a special diet, weight loss, and exercise. Commonly used medications may include Glipizide. Although not specifically designed for cats, this medication is often prescribed. Side effects are rare, but may include vomiting or loss of appetite. Always notify your vet if your cat has any side effects or reactions to a medication. Your vet will need to monitor your cat’s liver enzymes while on this medication as well. Your licensed veterinarian London, ON may tell you that it could take six weeks for your cat to show progress from the medication.
