Certain diabetic cats, like your Cornish Rex, will require routine blood sugar level testing to ensure their diabetes is under control. This could mean that you will need to test your cat’s blood sugar levels on your own at home. If this is the case, talk with your vet about recommended glucose meters. Also have your vet demonstrate the best way for you to test your Cornish Rex’s blood sugar. Some owners of diabetic cats have found that a handheld “people” glucose meter is one of the best methods for checking their cat’s blood sugar. The human meter is cheaper than most pet meters and is available at many different pharmacies. Check your cat’s blood sugar reading at home with a reading taken by your vet to ensure accuracy. For additional tips and suggestions for using the glucose meter on your cat, simply call your vet Webster, NY.
