Feline diabetic patients received a variety of tests, glucogenic products and prescription diets (2013-2015). The number of clinic visits/year varied with the type of treatment each diabetic feline received. There were about 180,000 DM cats who received only a prescription diet. The average number of DM cats who received diet food for treatment, alone or in combination with glucogenic regulators, was about 240,000.
