Unless someone has a recommendation, you'll need to interview the vet offices to select one.
1) Have you read any of the articles by Dr Rand on contemporary feline diabetes management with home monitoring of glucose levels?
- should say yes
2) Have you ever treated a diabetic cat? When? How many diabetic cats are you currently seeing in your practice?
- ideally, you'd like to see some experience
3) What insulin do you first prescribe for cats?
- Want to see Lantus, Levemir, ProZinc, or PZI
- Humulin N, Caninsulin are "old school" and suggest the vet is out of date
4) Do you ask your owners to test the blood glucose at home? Why or why not?
5) What kind of glucometer do you ask your clients to purchase - a pet-specific one or a humane one? (should be OK w/ humane 1)
6) Do you ask your owners to test for urine ketones?

You might check the U of MI Vet School for recent alumi in your area.
