John Flanagan, PhD

John Flanagan, PhD, presented new research at WVC 2026 that shows that a purpose-formulated, low-digestible carbohydrate diet combined with structured caloric restriction substantially increases short-term diabetic remission in overweight, insulin-treated cats.

Based on a study, John Flanagan, PhD, explains how targeted caloric restriction produced high remission rates in overweight diabetic cats and shares clinic-ready strategies for weight reduction and glycemic control.

John Flanagan, PhD, discusses his team's study that shows that a high-protein, low-digestible carbohydrate diet combined with controlled weight loss may improve diabetic remission rates in overweight cats.
