Dr. Gary starts out this week’s American Diabetes Wholesale Newsletter with a very interesting question from  a pet owner with a cat that was recently diagnosed with diabetes. The question had to do with how a cat lover could help with the management of her cat’s diabetes by monitoring the animal’s glucose levels at home. What follows is a very concise and detailed discussion on the topic of monitoring diabetes in pets, including warning signs that a pet owner can watch for, a simple process for taking note and keeping track of your pet’s physical condition, and some basic instructions on  the proper way to check and manage your pet’s glucose levels should they be found to be in need of diabetes monitoring. Part 1 of this discussion concludes with some suggestions for pet glucose monitoring devices.

“Monitoring diabetes is critical to determining your pet’s proper insulin dose. To a large extent, monitoring can be done at home and it is possible to save a great deal of money by doing so.”

This is an interesting and enlightening article indeed for all pet owners; we can’t wait for Part 2!
