Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common feline endocrinopathies and the management of diabetic cats requires considerable commitment from both veterinary staff and cat owners. Effective communication between the veterinary team and owners of diabetic cats is vital to achieve good client engagement and treatment outcomes, and veterinary nurses can play an integral role in this client-practice relationship.

The RVC Diabetic Remission Clinic is recruiting for a 1-year trial examining the ability of a new prescription diet to promote weight loss and diabetic remission in overweight cats with diabetes mellitus. The trial period will last for 1 year; cats will only be fed the test diet for the first 12 weeks and will be then monitored up to 52 weeks. Patients will attend 5-7 consultations at the RVC Queen Mother Hospital for Animals at the RVC in Hertfordshire. The project will also investigate how achieving diabetic remission, and weight loss, affects the gut microbiome of diabetic cats.
