Hi, I'm new to the site and just joined the group. I was hoping to get some info from other owners of diabetic cats. Bagheera has been diagnosed with diabetes for over a year now and has been consistently at 4.5 units of insulin 2x a day for a couple of months. We recently moved and have started seeing a new vet. Our previous vet had Bagheera coming for routine B/Gs (blood/glucose checks) every month or two, which we were very comfortable with The new vet doesn't want to see him again until 6 months from now. Question: how often does your vet recommend you go for B/Gs?

Hopefully you have an answer to your question by now, but my mom tests my BG at home. Mom does work for vets, and how often their diabetic patients are tested varies, but 6 months seems like a long time to go without checking. A lot can happen in 6 months. If you need more help, feel free to pawmail me!
