How do you know whether a cat should go on insulin instead of the more convenient sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLT2)? How do you most likely achieve diabetic remission in cats? Can acromegaly occur in non-diabetic cats? Should I be using TSH to diagnose and monitor hyperthyroidism? If you are curious about these questions, you will learn a lot on this course!

In the past decade, significant advances have occurred in the field of feline endocrinology. Diabetes can be treated by inducing glucosuria with oral medications, achieving diabetic remission is heavily promoted, there are additional options for diagnosis of hyperthyroidism (but which option is best?) and acromegaly is now recognised as a severely underdiagnosed endocrinopathy in diabetic cats, as well as non-diabetic cats. In summary – lots to discuss!
