| Summary / Zusammenfassung | Until recently, home monitoring was not routinely performed by owners of diabetic animals. The aim of this study is to determine whether owners of diabetic dogs and cats are willing and able to perform home monitoring on a long-term basis and what problems are encountered; to compare the results of home and hospital blood glucose curves; and to compare treatment decisions based on home and hospital blood glucose curves. In 2002 the first part of the study has been successfully completed. Further investigations will now use the technique of home monitoring to evaluate the influence of different feeding regimens on glycemic control. The study has been completed end of 2007. |
