As you read these articles, please keep in mind that any time you even think about giving a homeopathic or herbal tincture check to see if it contains alcohol. I've heard privately from, and we've read on the list about a lot of cats over the years hurt by alcohol in products given by well-meaning caregivers and vets. Details on cautions and caveats with cats here:
Wherever a dose has been established either in journals or through extrapolation confirmed by many years of use it is mentioned. Otherwise, it is either unknown or can only be figured out on a customized on a case-by-case basis e.g. a cat with cancer needs a lot more CoQ10 than one with diabetes and no other known complications.

Cats develop diabetes due to a poor/species-inappropriate diet, it really is that simple to prevent diabetes. Anecdotally speaking, in almost 11 years of the list with thousands of cats having come through my cyber door, I have yet to see one cat develop diabetes on a raw diet or even a low-carb canned diet for that matter.
