The RVC Diabetic Remission Clinic investigates the optimum methods to achieve good diabetic control, We welcome enquiries about potential cases.
(20)

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) Diabetic Remission Clinic is based in the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals in Hertfordshire. Diabetes mellitus in pets is a costly, chronic disease which can significantly decrease the quality of life of both cat owners and their pets. However, a proportion of diabetic cats can achieve diabetic remission and no longer require insulin therapy. Achieving diabetic

remission is increasingly considered the ultimate goal in treating diabetc cats. Early evidence suggests that good, early blood glucose control increases remission rates in diabetic cats. However, there is little evidence about which treatment protocol offers that best blood glucose control and chance of remission. The Diabetic Remission Clinic aims to investigate the best treatments to promote good diabetic control, and remission, in diabetic pets. Cats seen through our clinic benefit from financial incentives and diabetic management from dedicated Internal Medicine Specialists, while contributing to our knowledge on the best treatment methods for pet diabetes. We are currently recruiting for a clinical trial examining the effect of a newly developed diet to improve glucose control and remission rate in cats who have had diabetes for less than 2 years' duration or cats which have gone into remission already. Enrolled cats qualify for full underlying disease assessment at our referral hospital, several re-examination appointments, 12 months of prescription diabetic food, home glucometers and glucose testing strips – all at no cost to owners! Please message us here or email [email protected].

Another cat and devoted owner deserve a huge congratulations! We are so pleased to announce that Justin has gone into diabetic remission. Justin is also even more handsome ( if that's possible ) as his owner worked hard to help him achieve a healthy body weight.

We will be monitoring Justin going forward but his future is looking bright!

There are only a few spaces left on our clinical trial for diabetic cats. We have been so pleased to see so many cats improve and get a second lease on life. If you have a diabetic cat that has been diabetic for less than two years and can travel to Hertfordshire, please contact our clinic. We welcome all enquiries!

There is nothing Spooky going on with our diabetic cat trial !! We are over 1 year into the trial and can still claim an amazing remission rate of over 50% ! Ask any veterinarian, this is exciting!

Diabetic remission occurs when a cat no longer requires daily insulin injections and they can regulate their own blood sugar levels. This drastically improves their quality of life and lifespan.

It is currently very difficult to achieve remission in many diabetic cats and the Royal Veterinary College has been researching new ways to treat diabetes mellitus in cats. An important aspect of treatment is feeding an appropriate diet that promotes diabetic control.

Our current clinical trial testing a new feline diabetic food and will be closing in December 2022! Spaces are still available to obtain a ONE YEAR FREE SUPPLY of cat food that will not be released for general sale till 2025.

If you live near London please get in touch with the trial at [email protected] or call 01707666906 to discuss if your cat is right for this amazing clinical trial! All enquiries welcome!

Another trial cat has achieved diabetic remission, which means Jimi no longer requires insulin. Jimi started our trial as an unstable diabetic and it took several weeks and a hugely committed owner to help him make such great progress. Currently Jimi is very healthy and coping well on the trial diet. There is still room on our clinical trial for new cats to join us. We are seeing approximately 75% of cats on our trial recovering normal glycaemic control as well as an increased quality of life. If you have an overweight diabetic cat and would like to get in touch please send us a message on facebook or email [email protected]

One of the team was poorly last week. In bed for days with a bad chest infection and they woke up to a cheery sight. Emotional support cats galore! We take care of them because they take care of us 💗
