Tracking and managing diabetes in dogs

MSD Animal Health has created a diabetes app to enable vets and their clients to better track and manage diabetes in pets. It is being made available in the lead up to Pet Diabetes Month next month. The app allows owners to use a smart-phone or tablet to track water and food consumption, exercise, glucose levels and insulin injections. It also allows reminders for vet appointments and insulin injections to be set, and creates charts that clients can share with their vet. Caroline Darouj, product manager, says: ‘This tool links the pet owner with the vet and puts all the pertinent diabetic health information at their fingertips. It’s all about setting habits that save lives.’ The Pet Diabetes Tracker can be downloaded free from iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/uk/app/pet-diabetes-tracker-uk/id1284472796?ls=1&mt=8. MSD says an Android version will also be available soon and reports that more information is available at its website...
