 Ethical insurance customers may be interested in the comments of one pet healthcare professional on diabetes. Firstly, owners should be aware of how serious this disease is, Dr Margaret King wrote in her Edmond Sun column. "Treating and caring for a diabetic pet takes a huge commitment in both time and dollars," she noted, adding that people must be available to take the time out of their day to provide to regular administrations of insulin. She said owners would be responsible at home for ensuring good maintenance of blood glucose levels - something the local pet healthcare expert can teach them all about. "This is a disease that will require close contact and an open channel of communication between you and your veterinarian," the vet added. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, symptoms of this illness include sweet-smelling breath, excessive thirst and lethargy.
