Another article, and it REALLY annoyed me.  First of all, the cats were fasted.  That is NOT something recommended for cats, esp. those whose health has already been compromised.  Secondly, they don't say if the cats that "relapsed" were fed a high-carbohydrate diet again, leading to the "relapse."  There's no information on what may have changed that may have been connected to the "relapse."   >:(

The only thing I did find of value is this statement:

Corticosteroid administration should be avoided in all cats in diabetic remission.
