My vet advised me to buy a GlucoMen LX Blood Glucose Meter (cheap to buy online and the same brand used at the surgery). Being able to test blood sugar levels at home reduced visits to the vet considerably; which was less stressful for the cats and much cheaper for me.<br /><br />Testing at home is a simple procedure, but a bit too wordy to explain in a blog comment. If you'd like some advice, please feel free to email. Good luck!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825935610189219523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-20361561000664149352011-04-01T21:39:39.940+01:002011-04-01T21:39:39.940+01:00Bless you! nice blog, thanks for sharingBless you! nice blog, thanks for sharingHelmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08119866374123845925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-43713666850464907072011-04-01T19:37:03.498+01:002011-04-01T19:37:03.498+01:00oh I am sorry to hear about Bob.

Love cats (we have 5) and work with animals so injections are no big deal (and you know he has to feel better!) Keep your chin up pretty soon it will just be routine for you guys! My friend's cat lived a very long time (I think he was over 20!!) He was black and white also.Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-20978296404199666762011-03-31T22:47:57.307+01:002011-03-31T22:47:57.307+01:00Oh dear, I'm so sorry you're having a toug...Oh dear, I'm so sorry you're having a tough time with your kitty.
