Diabetic Test

My cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. I am also diabetic and my sugar level test during the day with a glucometer. I have not talked to the vet yet, but you know someone or a cat sugar test even without you / pay for the vet? Insulin is very expensive and I try to do the best I can. To visit the vet every two weeks is something I just can not afford, no matter how much I want. Is this the only way to tell if insulin is the right amount? How would you even knowing it was so the cat hypo? Thanks. Ask your vet. You should ask your veterinarian to see what is right for you and your cat. Many times, you stick your ear close to where a vein of blood (which I did with my dog daibetic) is observed. To do this, I suggest you wrap your cat in a towel until he is accustomed to be treated for a blood draw. You use a small amout of blood from the ear as you would a finger and testing the same. Good luck. I'm sure there's a Yahoo group for feline diabetes Yahoogroups.com Just go and have tried to find it. Members will be able to answer your questions about your experience, you probably know where to find supplies of insulin and low cost, etc. I had two cats with diabetes and I can say that I do not think you can do, our vet had to draw blood (bottle) and tested. I will say that after getting leveled off should not have to do often. My cats were used for the procedure and the vaccine before each of the two meals a day. After a bit, "would have to wait to eat and look at me as if to say," Well, where's my shot, "When my cat was hypoglycemia went to sleep and I could not wake up, this time the 'dress to the vet emergency and have reassessed the dose of insulin, as it was revealed that he had lost weight, diabetes was so bad and then the amount of insulin was too old for her.
