Accuracy of a flash glucose monitoring system in diabetic dogs

Glycemic control is a cornerstone for the management of diabetes mellitus (DM) in human and veterinary medicine. Self-monitoring blood glucose systems and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) are routinely used in human diabetic patients. In diabetic dogs, the evaluation of blood glucose curves (BGCs) allows the clinician to determine if the insulin administered is effective and identify the glucose nadir, time of peak insulin effect, duration of insulin effect, and degree of fluctuation in blood glucose concentrations in that particular dog.
