Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old cat was hospitalized for monitoring blood sugar levels after being diagnosed with diabetes. The veterinary team provided care by checking her blood glucose regularly and administering insulin to help manage her condition. They also educated the owner on how to care for her cat at home, including how to monitor her blood sugar and give medication. With proper treatment and support, the cat's blood sugar levels were stabilized, and she was able to go home with a management plan.

Abstract
Feline diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine disorders in cats. Veterinary nurses play a huge role in management of these feline patients by helping with diagnostics, monitoring blood glucose levels, administering medication, providing skilled nursing care during the time of hospitalisation as well as educating and advising the clients. This patient care report discusses the care provided to a diabetic feline patient that was hospitalised for a blood glucose curve.
