How serious is diabetes in a 12 year old cat. How is it treated?
Q. What is the standard treatment for diabetes for a 12 years old cat?
A. It's most likely going to be insulin injections, my friend ... probably twice a day, but that will depend on your particular vet. (Sadly, we've recently lost one of our furry babies to diabetes. She'd been diabetic for 4 or 5 years now, and was on twice daily insulin injections.)
What members must a casemanager collect for a family where a children is going thru treatment for diabetes?
Q. If you are a Case Manager working with a family where one of their children is going through treatments for childhood diabetes what members should you put together? such as a nutritionist, certain type of doctor etc?
A. pediatrician, endocrinologist, nutritionist, maybe a psychologist, too.
I'd like the whole family in diabetic education classes as well as family counseling. Too often, we see only the affected child and mother. The rest of the family doesn't think it's necessary for them.

How come you can not cure diabetes?
Q. I know there are treatments for diabetes but I do not know the reason on why you can not cure diabetes, any type of diabetes. Please Help! Thank You.
A. It all boils down to the fact that it is just too complicated to cure.
Many people have had pancreas transplants but the transplant is difficult due to the fact that the pancreas is very delicate and not everyone is an organ donor. Right now they only do these transplants when someone is dying from diabetic complications. My uncle had a pancreas/kidney transplant and lived for 15 years until he had a heart attack.
Doctors all over the US and Canada have been working on islet cell transplantation. I know that in Philadelphia they had cured several people this past summer. The islet cell transplantation is only in the clinical trial stages right now. The medical community has recently found a better way to transplant these cells and they have had better results but it will be years before this is available to all diabetics. I was in the clinical trial in Philly and only know all of this info because I asked. I unfortunately had other health problems and had to drop out.
The medical community has been working for years on an artificial pancreas or implantable insulin pump. There have been way too many problems with these however.
There seems to be new discoveries and hope on the horizon everyday. I've been reading for years that a cure is just around the corner. Hopefully one day soon someone will find the thing that finally works perfectly.
