broken image

Does your cat have diabetes? If so, talk to your vet about treatment options and how to monitor your cat’s blood sugar. You may need to take your cat into the vet regularly to have her blood sugar tested by your vet. Or, your vet may show you how to check your cat’s blood sugar at home. You can usually use a home glucose monitor for this. A pet glucose monitor is more expensive than a human glucose monitor. It’s often advised to by a human glucose monitor at your local pharmacy and use that for your cat. In addition to checking your cat’s glucose levels you should also monitor your cat’s diet and any changes in environment. If medication is prescribed you should keep an eye out on how your cat is reacting to the meds incase the blood sugar spikes or drops in which case you should notify your vet York, PA immediately.
