Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

Question by laurenjulia: How do you tell if a cat has diabetes without going to the vet?
Or can cats even have diabetes?
How do you test a cat’s blood sugar?

I’m wondering because I have a cat that is overweight, and we think she may be peeing on the floor instead of the litterbox.

Answer by TKS
A urine test can detect sugar in the urine. take a sample in to the vet or they can draw a blood sample and check for glucose that way. Overweight cats are more prone to diabetes, but they can also have urinary tract infections or be too lazy to get over the edge of the litterbox.

What do you think? Answer below!

I have low blood sugar and I would like to know a good website where I can find information on how to prevent it from developing into diabetes.

I asked if I had diabetes yesterday on answers and u guys said yes. But I’m not sure how to tell my parents because I don’t think they will take my seriously until I actually am admitted to the hospital…. And also I had my blood drawn to see if I had chicken pox antibodies but my doctor didn’t say anything about diabetes… Sorry aboutthr typos…
