Years ago I expressed my doubts about the reality of diabetes in cats
At that time I was wrong by stating that while diabetes in humans is irreversible, so-called diabetes in cats cant be real since it can enter into remission. This assertion proved not true, by my personal experience: human diabetes can enter into remission as well.
About two years ago my Hb1c was found 6.2- which is a pre-diabetic value.
Long story short, after removing carbohydrates from the diet and increasing the amount of fat and after intermittent fasting and exercise, all is back on track, without any medication. Surprisingly, one century ago, before insulin being used, the doctors treated diabetes with a low-carb diet!
I am writing these rows to encourage forum mates with cats having diabetes. The key to understanding what is this about is looking into insulin resistance. I am not giving any medical advice, of any sort. I am only saying that it is worth looking deeper into recent scientific findings.
