Cracking the Code on Feline Diabetes: Dr. Forrest Cummings Shares What Every Vet Should Know
Feline diabetes is one of the most common—and most complicated—endocrine disorders veterinarians face in practice. From finicky appetites to glucose curves that never seem to curve quite right, managing a diabetic cat can feel like both a science and an art. That’s exactly why Vet Candy teamed up with board-certified veterinary internist Dr. Forrest Cummings for an in-depth, practical video guide: “Feline Diabetes Demystified.”
In this essential video, Dr. Cummings breaks down the complexities of feline diabetes with clarity and clinical precision. Designed for veterinary students, NAVLE candidates, and practicing professionals alike, the episode covers everything from diagnosis and treatment to long-term management strategies that make a real difference in patient outcomes.
Real-World Guidance from an Expert
Dr. Cummings draws from his years of experience in internal medicine to share insights that go beyond the textbook. Viewers learn how to approach insulin therapy, choose the right diet, and monitor patient response in ways that are both medically sound and realistic for pet owners to follow.
He also addresses common pitfalls—such as inconsistent home glucose monitoring and challenges with owner compliance—and offers smart, actionable solutions. Whether you're preparing for clinical rotations or fine-tuning your in-practice protocols, this is the kind of expert-backed content that builds confidence and competence.
Why It Matters
Diabetes in cats is a lifelong diagnosis that requires careful communication, diligent management, and a solid understanding of the disease’s nuances. This video not only covers the core medical knowledge needed to treat it—it also empowers veterinary professionals to partner more effectively with pet owners for better outcomes.
And with feline diabetes frequently appearing on board exams like the NAVLE, this is one video future DVMs can’t afford to skip.
