Feline Diabetes/ insulin pump research or beta testing?
Does anyone know if anyone is researching/ beta testing or publishing data on the use (experimental use is fine- I don't expect practical use data) of insulin pumps in pets? Prefer feline data.
I know the cost of pump & supplies so that's not what I am looking for.
Do not need current protocol in feline diabetes management, looking for information beyond that.
I am looking for research papers, or medical guidelines if such a thing exists.
I understand in theory it may be possible to use an insulin pump on a pet, (cost prohibits most people/pets). I want to know if anyone has done it or is researching it.
Thanks.
thanks for the yahoo group suggestion, I will look into it.
What I am looking for is research data above and beyond the current, cutting edge vet medical data.
You can probably find a good answer by joining the Yahoo group for feline diabetes. There are lots of members and as with other "specialized" cat groups on Yahoo there are always one or two members who are very up-to-date on the medical research.
