The information contained
on the pages of Sugarcat Simon's Web Site does not constitute an is not
intended to take the place of formal veterinarian advice, suggestions,
recommendations, or treatment methods.
These pages were created by and
contain the information gathered by a non veterinarian owner of a cat with
Feline Diabetes.
Every attempt has been made to
insure that this information is correct and current, but none of it should
be taken as an attempt to provide a definitive or complete method of dealing
with Feline Diabetes.
If you are the owner of a diabetic
cat, you must turn to the veterinarian community for formal treatment of
the feline diabetes.
This is not to say that all veterinarians
in practice are equally qualified to treat cases of Feline Diabetes, but
rather that, as a whole, the veterinarian community is better trained and
qualified to assist you with the diagnosis and treatment of your cat.
Just as in any profession, there
are excellent veterinarians and there are poor veterinarians.
Your first task, when presented
with the diagnosis of Feline Diabetes in your cat, is to determine the
suitably of your present veterinarian in treating the disease.
Just as you seek out the best
or most useful products in every day life and turn to specialists for the
performance of services, you must also seek out a veterinarian who has
the experience and knowledge necessary to successfully treat your diabetic
cat.
Some concepts presented here,
such as Home Testing of BG levels, are being used successfully by many
owners of Feline Diabetes and have been found useful for the treatment
of their diabetic cat.
While the author believes these
concepts will be of value in the treatment of any Diabetic cat, you and
a competent veterinarian must be the final judge as to the advisability
of applying concepts provided herein.
