The Technician's Role in Diabetes ManagementOur diabetic feline patients require a team to care for their needs. Veterinary professionals and compliant caregivers are all pieces of the puzzle for successful treatment. Once the patient has received an accurate diabetic work up, continued care consists of repeat hospital visits and home care.
