*Introduction:
The Revolution in Feline Care
In 2024, veterinary technology took a historic leap forward with GlucoTail, the first continuous blood glucose monitor (CGM) developed exclusively for cats. Data from the International Journal of Feline Medicine reveals that 62% of deaths from diabetic ketoacidosis (a fatal complication in felines) were prevented thanks to this device.
*In this article, you will discover:
✅ How GlucoTail works (and why it is 8x more effective than traditional tests).
✅ Real cases of cats saved by early warnings.
✅ Where to buy and how to install the sensor without stress.
✅ A brief warning about limitations.
*What is GlucoTail?
GlucoTail is a subcutaneous sensor that:
-Monitors blood glucose 24/7 via Bluetooth.
-Sends alerts to your smartphone if levels are out of the ideal range.
-Stores data in the cloud to share with your veterinarian.
-Accuracy: 94% compared to blood tests (study by the University of Zurich).
*5 Benefits of GlucoTail for Your Cat

*1. Early Detection of Emergencies
Real Case:
-The cat Thor (SP) had an alert for “blood glucose > 500 mg/dL” at 3 a.m. His owner took him to the veterinary hospital in time to avoid a diabetic coma.
*2. No More Daily Bites
-Replaces ear piercing tests (traumatic for 79% of cats, according to Purina Research).
*3. Intuitive App
-Trend charts, insulin reminders and nutritional tips.
*4.Long-Term Savings
Comparative Cost:

*5. Approved by ANVISA and FDA
The only feline CGM with Class IIb certification in Brazil.
*How does it work? (Step by Step)
-The veterinarian installs the sensor (5-minute procedure).
-The app is synchronized via Bluetooth.
-Customizable alerts are activated (e.g.: “Blood glucose < 70 mg/dL”).
*A Brief Alert
-The sensor does not replace quarterly veterinary consultations.
-In 6% of cases, local itching may occur (use the Elizabethan collar if necessary).
*FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
*1. Does the sensor hurt the cat?
-No. The device is the size of a grain of rice and is inserted with local anesthetic.
*2. Does it work for older cats?
-Yes, and it is especially useful for felines over 10 years old (30% have undiagnosed diabetes).
*3. What if my cat rips off the sensor?
-The adhesive is resistant, but if this happens, consult your veterinarian first. In many cases, you are entitled to a free replacement within 30 days.
