title: [Diabetes remission in cats: a review].
abstract: Remission from diabetes is seen in 25 - 50 % of cats during the first months of therapy. The likelihood of remission is higher in old cats and cats with normal cholesterol than in young cats and cats with increased cholesterol. The results of an ongoing study indicate that initial intravenous insulin therapy has positive effects on remission rates and quality of metabolic control.
