Here are some of the <strong><em>diabetes management tools for pets<\/em><\/strong> you\u2019ll need to help manage your furry friend\u2019s diabetes.

Glucometers let you <em>measure your pet\u2019s glucose<\/em> levels so you know exactly how much insulin you need to give them (if any). Here are a few of the best glucometers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pet Control HQ Blood Sugar Monitor System<\/strong>: This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blood-Sugar-Glucose-Monitor-Kit-Diabetes-Testing-Glucometer-Meter-Pet-Control-HQ\/dp\/B07Y54PJKB\">glucometer<\/a> can be used for both cats and dogs and has veterinary approval. This glucose kit is easy to use and provides quick (and reliable) results. Add this into your pet diabetes management routine to keep them at healthy blood sugar levels.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Test Buddy Glucose Meter: <\/strong>Another glucometer that can be used for both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthy-tracks.com\/products\/test-buddy-glucose-meter\/\">dogs and cats<\/a>, this model lets you test your pet\u2019s glucose levels in about 10 seconds. You can test on the ear or the paw without the need to do any coding on the monitor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AlphaTRAK 2 Blood Glucose Monitor: <\/strong>With just a small blood sample, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AlphaTRAK-Blood-Glucose-Monitoring-System\/dp\/B007Z0XULY\/?tag=20petside-20\">this glucometer<\/a> lets you check your dog or cat\u2019s blood glucose levels. It\u2019s easy to use and gives fast results to help you safely manage your pet\u2019s diabetes at home.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pet Insulin Pens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulin pens are insulin delivery devices that you can use at home. Shaped like a pen, they are easy to hold and come in either single-use or refillable versions. You can easily change the dial at the bottom to select the amount of insulin to inject. When ready, simply press the trigger button to give your pet the insulin he needs. Here are some great insulin pen options to help you manage your pet\u2019s diabetes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lantus SoloStar<\/strong>: This insulin pen comes prefilled and must be refrigerated until ready for use. Before injecting, be sure to roll the pen back and forth in your hands to get it to a uniform temperature and appearance. Shake it until the contents look milky white.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Semglee Insulin Pen<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chewy.com\/semglee-insulin-glargine-yfgn-u-100\/dp\/515406?utm_source=google-product&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=13246986432&amp;utm_content=Semglee&amp;utm_term=&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwnrmlBhDHARIsADJ5b_mDmd5jLbq47-2mewUdAccbj9LKDFHZCVvhURCkJDX6wT_6CLPTLuAaAi1PEALw_wcB\">Semglee<\/a> offers an alternative insulin pen. With an easy-to-select dose pointer, you can be sure your pet is getting the exact right amount of insulin each time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vivi Cap Multi-Model:<\/strong> This option can be used for both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walgreens.com\/store\/c\/vivi-cap-multi-model-insulin-pen-cap\/ID=300431743-product?ext=gooFY23_GOO_RET_RETAILDEMANDGEN_Performance%2BMax%2B-%2BHome%2BHealth%2BCare_REV_SRC_PMAX_PMAX_NA_PMAX_ENG__pla_online&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwnrmlBhDHARIsADJ5b_kr0t4bT0oun6IylXGiJc9f_ZHVt-5MuNOjPJuVICe0anJryQSva3AaAu_VEALw_wcB\">prefilled and refillable insulin<\/a> and is insulated for protection against extreme temperatures.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veterinary Diabetes Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a great selection of apps to help you <em>manage your pet\u2019s diabetes<\/em>.
