RVC Diabetic Clinical Score

Watching the clinical signs is crucial to achieving success in diabetic pet management; since all blood and urine tests can help as well as fool us, they need to be interpreted in light of the clinical signs. The Diabetic Remission Clinic has developed a simple, quick, standardised way to describe and score the clinical signs of diabetic pets - Dr Stijn Niessen explains - the scoring system is included in the free RVC Pet Diabetes App, available in the App Store and Google Playstore. Use the score to better communicate with vets and clients! This scoring system is included in our free RVC Pet DIabetes App: now available for free download onto smartphones and tablets, from Android ( bit.ly/1q3jCV5 ) and iPhone App stores ( apple.co/203OoK2 )

Nice video, I was scanning my sensor before with reader. For the last few months, I have been using Nightrider cgm with my Libre which helps me to monitor glucose readings on phone screen without needing to scan. it's great!

Very interesting and useful. Can't we all get together and buy the good doctor a new white board marker?

hunny c Loved your presentation! So full of good info! My 4 yr old cat just got diabetes diagnosis. His urinary and water intake symptoms started coincidentally with horrible disruptive construction to replace all our pipes in the home( so he stayed under the bed for 2 weeks! ). We are 70 somethings and the house is pretty quiet normally. He is not obese and his symptoms are about gone (his intake is ⅞ to 1 ¼ cup a day- monitored for a week). We are thinking about stress-induced hyperglycemia as an alternative diagnosis and wondered if he should have a fructosamine test now? Vet says not possible but Cornel and Merck Vet Manual say yes. How long do we wait to do it to allow for stress to recede? He's had 2 blood glucose tests- 450, then after 2 wks of DM food it was 375. He never had blood glucose tested before these symptoms. Can we safely wait on insulin and try diet and then retest? Your timely answers would be such a help. Contractictions everywhere and we are stumped! Keep up the good work! Hunny
