Managing pets with diabetes doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this episode of the Paws in Effect podcast, Dr Carra chats to Professor Patty Lathan, a leading veterinary endocrinologist, to unravel the complexities of diabetes in dogs and cats.

Together, they bust myths, explain what true diabetic success looks like (spoiler: it’s NOT textbook perfection), and share practical, compassionate advice for both vets and pet parents.

Learn why striving for perfect glucose numbers isn’t realistic (and might even harm your bond with your pet), what early warning signs to watch for, and why quality of life always comes first.

Discover the differences in how diabetes is managed in dogs versus cats, the truth about diabetic complications, and the latest advances in insulin and oral medications.
