Wow, thanks for posting this. That's sticky worthy.
"Dr. Peterson: ... We've agreed for 20 years that once a day is not going to do it."
"Dr. Nelson: One recommendation is that diabetic cats should not be fed dry pet food, period."
"Dr. Nelson: I only recommend doing a blood glucose curve if the cat is poorly regulated. I base my control more on history and physical examination findings and stability of body weight. If everything looks good—no signs of hypoglycemia and the cat is jumping normally, then I don't recommend doing a curve. I periodically have the owner monitor two or three blood glucose concentrations during the day to be sure the blood glucose is staying between 100 and 300 mg/dl, and that's it." angry(2)_cat
"Dr. Norsworthy: Another thing that clients can do to monitor at home is to weigh the cat. The owner can easily weigh the cat at least twice a week, and that's an excellent indicator of a diabetic cat's condition in a multi-cat household in which monitoring for food and water consumption and urine output may be impossible. " :thumbup Yes, we should all be weighing our cats at home!!! I couldn't agree more.
