  • Title: Practical use of home blood glucose monitoring in feline diabetics.
    Author: Ford SL, Lynch H.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2013 Mar; 43(2):283-301. PubMed ID: 23522173.
    Abstract:
    With the use of handheld glucometers, most owners are able to regularly monitor their cat's blood glucose at home. The data generated from this protocol can be used by the clinician to better tailor insulin therapy to the patient. Along with improvements in long-acting insulin, and available low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets for cats, home blood glucose monitoring (home monitoring) allows for safe, intensive insulin therapy, which results in tighter glycemic control and improved case outcome, often including remission of the diabetic state.
