Insightful thread- thank you!

Cats are not little fat people and their idiosyncrasies like transient diabetes mellitus will make a GLP-1 study pretty interesting. Fingers crossed.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

That's a great point about their transient DM! I wonder if their trial will include continuous glucose monitoring data like the Libre. Will also be something vets need to be aware of for potentially making it harder to diagnose DKA, like the oral anti-hyperglycemic drug Bexacat (bexagliflozin)

Great review. Very interested in GLP 1 for cats 🐈 😻

Totally! Another commenter raised the issue of cats and transient DM; it will be really interesting to see how they respond to this new class of drugs
