, 2 Cats that have diabetes are treated with insulin. It is believed that insulin might cause a
growth disease in cats.
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
Cats, that are being treated with insulin, routinely have their level of IGF‑I, a growth
hormone, measured to see if the insulin is causing any side effects.
A random sample of 23 cats with diabetes was obtained and these cats were put into
three categories
• short‑term, those who have received insulin for 31 days or less
• medium‑term, those who have received insulin for 32 days to 14 months
• long‑term, those who have received insulin for more than 14 months
Routine measurements of the levels of IGF‑I (nanomoles per litre) in these cats are
given in Figure 1
