连续的葡萄糖监测仪（CGM）在哈停与追踪血糖水平上的连续葡萄糖监测器（CGM），这标志着该设备在PET上的罕见使用

CGM是一个小的圆形贴片，比10枚卢比的硬币大，放在动物的腹部或颈背上。它不断监视葡萄糖水平，并通过应用程序将读数传输到链接的手机。

A three-year-old pug in Mumbai has been fitted with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to track his blood sugar levels closely. The dog, named Nikki and suffering from uncontrolled diabetes, was admitted to the veterinary hospital in Parel on Friday, where the device is helping to manage his condition effectively.

在孟买的一个三岁的哈巴狗已安装了连续的葡萄糖监测器（CGM），以密切跟踪其血糖水平。这只狗叫尼基（Nikki），患有不受控制的糖尿病患者，周五被送往帕雷尔（Parel）的兽医医院，该设备正在有效地帮助他的病情管理。

The CGM, a small, circular patch, slightly larger than a Rs 10 coin, is placed on the animal's abdomen or nape and continuously monitors glucose levels, transmitting the readings to a linked mobile phone via an app. The device remains active for two weeks before it needs to be replaced.

CGM是一个小于10枚硬币的小圆形贴片，放置在动物的腹部或NAPE上，并不断监视葡萄糖水平，通过应用程序将读数传输到链接的手机。在需要更换之前，该设备保持活跃两个星期。

At the time of admission, the pug, who is also on insulin therapy, had dangerously high blood sugar levels of over 400 mg/dl, compared to the normal range of 80-120 mg/dl. The sensor is helping doctors adjust insulin doses more effectively.

在入院时，与正常的80-120 mg/dl范围相比，同样正在接受胰岛素治疗的哈巴狗的高血糖水平超过400 mg/dl。该传感器正在帮助医生更有效地调整胰岛素剂量。

"This is a rare occasion on which we have used the CGM on a pet. It helps monitor blood glucose," said Dr Chandrakant Galdhar, professor of medicine at Mumbai Veterinary College, which is treating the dog. He noted that while such sensors have become common for humans to manage diabetes, their use in veterinary care is still uncommon.

孟买兽医学院医学教授Chandrakant Galdhar博士说：“这是我们在宠物上使用CGM的罕见时刻。”他指出，尽管这种传感器对人类管理糖尿病已经很普遍，但它们在兽医护理中的使用仍然很少见。

Without the CGM, monitoring the dog’s blood sugar would have required frequent pricks using a glucometer, which can be distressing for pets. "Often, pets don't cooperate… they can be just like children," said Dr Rajiv V Gaikwad, head of the medicine department at Mumbai Veterinary College, affiliated with Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals (Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University).

没有CGM，监测狗的血糖将需要使用血糖仪进行频繁的刺，这可能会使宠物感到痛苦。孟买兽医学院医学系主任Rajiv诉Gaikwad博士说：“通常，宠物不合作……它们可以像孩子一样。”

Describing the difficulties in getting pets to cooperate with medical procedures, Dr Gaikwad said, "We try to keep them comfortable. We used to prick Nikki's ear with a glucometer to check his glucose levels, but he used to move about a lot."

Gaikwad博士描述了让宠物合作与医疗程序合作的困难，“我们试图使它们保持舒适。我们曾经用葡萄糖来刺穿Nikki的耳朵来检查他的葡萄糖水平，但他曾经移动很多。”

The pug's owner, Vaishnavi Mali, a Wadala resident, said that her dog was in a lot of pain due to repeated needle pricks.

瓦达拉（Wadala）的居民瓦什纳维·马里（Vaishnavi Mali）说，由于反复的针刺，她的狗很痛苦。

"They used to draw blood from Nikki's ear for glucose tests. We agreed to use the sensor to ease Nikki’s pain," she told Times of India.

她告诉《印度时报》：“他们曾经从尼基（Nikki）的耳朵中抽血进行葡萄糖测试。我们同意使用传感器来减轻尼基（Nikki）的痛苦。”

Apart from diabetes, Nikki also has high cortisol levels, which doctors suspect could be linked to his rising blood sugar.

除糖尿病外，尼基还具有很高的皮质醇水平，医生怀疑这可能与他的血糖增加有关。

“We have started administering medication to suppress the high cortisol levels,” said Dr Gaikwad.

Gaikwad博士说：“我们已经开始服用药物来抑制高皮质醇水平。”

The rise in lifestyle diseases like diabetes, cholesterol, and obesity in pets is concerning, noted Dr Mayur Dangar, manager at the hospital. He urged people to prepare home-cooked food for their pets and encourage them to exercise regularly to prevent such conditions.

医院经理Mayur Dangar博士指出，宠物中的糖尿病，胆固醇和肥胖症等生活方式疾病的兴起正在增加。他敦促人们为宠物准备家庭煮熟的食物，并鼓励他们定期运动以防止这种情况。

While the glucose sensor is a useful innovation, its high cost and limited compatibility with mobile devices remain challenges. However, concerns about the device’s durability during movement or baths have not been observed yet, said Dr Galdhar.

虽然葡萄糖传感器是一项有用的创新，但其高成本和与移动设备的兼容性有限仍然是挑战。 Galdhar博士说，但是，尚未观察到对运动或浴缸期间设备的耐用性的担忧。

For now, the pug remains in the hospital where he is being observed closely as the veterinary surgeons monitor the effectiveness of the CGM technology in veterinary care.

目前，哈巴狗仍然留在医院，当时兽医监测CGM技术在兽医护理中的有效性时，他被密切观察。
