Hi, my 10 year old calico cat was misdiagnosed last November as just having diabetes, but actually has pancreatitis and a very bad kidney infection on top of this situation, which is probably affecting her blood sugars. She went into a diabetic coma 9 hours after her 2nd shot of caninsulin a few days ago- I tried glipazide for a few months but she had bad side effects and it wasn't working properly. The emergency vetinary hospital (had her in for 2 days!)did an ultrasound and that's how they discovered she also had these 2 other conditions. I want to buy a glucometer to test her blood sugar myself, as I am not trusting of the original vet and am going to find another clinic that knows what they're doing!!!! Animals need to be monitored like humans.
I read that it's best to find a glucometer that needs less blood for a sample-like Freestyle. Does anybody have experience with this meter? Also, it apparently comes only with a 25 gauge lancet and is not interchangeable. Please let me know what would be best to start with. Thanks!!!
