Course Information:
Why is diabetes so challenging t manage in some cats? Which insulin and diet should we choose?
What data is there to support these decisions?
Performing and interpreting glucose curves provides the necessary information to determine
best type of insulin as well as dose adjustments in a patient.
However, performing curves isn't appropriate for every client.
The goals of therapy are not the same for different patients and different clients.
Adjunctive approaches to help client's care for their diabetic cat will be discussed.
