One in every 200 cats and one in every 500 dogs suffer from either Type I diabetes, the inability to produce insulin, or Type II diabetes, an insensitivity to insulin. Pets with these diseases typically require daily injections of insulin to metabolize dietary glucose, along with careful monitoring. The management of this disease has never been easier, thanks to our AlphaTRAK® Blood Glucose Monitoring System, the only system validated for cats and dogs. Click here to learn more.
