LOS ANGELES --
More dogs and cats are being diagnosed with diabetes, and veterinarians are tapping into a tool they use on humans to help them. The doctors implant the continuous glucose monitor under the skin to track a pet's blood sugar.
When a pet owner has the information, he can regulate his animal's meals and exercise to keep his blood sugar at the best level.
If a pet's high blood sugar is not treated, the condition can cause blindness and kidney failure.
