Your vet Aurora, CO can tell you that living with an American Curl that has been diagnosed with feline diabetes can be a process especially when first adjusting to medication routines and blood sugar monitoring. Your vet can help you learn to check your cat’s blood sugar on your own at home. In general, one of the best ways to check your Curl’s blood sugar level is by using a handheld glucometer. A handheld glucometer is designed to be used by people, but most pet owners use these for their pets because they are generally cheaper than pet meters. Handheld glucometers can be bought at most pharmacy stores. Always compare your Curl’s meter results with the vet’s results to ensure your meter is working correctly. In addition, note that glucose levels run in a lab tend to be 10 to 15% higher than the results gained on a meter. To learn more, click here.
