? Another reduction?

Frankie used to go through every colour too. Just recently the blacks are getting less, touch wood. I tend to wake up about 4am if I've slept through an alarm, so my inbuilt clock is starting to work!! I can't work with the American versions of how they measure glucose, nor get to grips with the human meter readings, so it's good to find someone else like me!!

(Ant-jinx)...my Tuxie has been hitting the blacks less as well. It is just taking SO long for his body to adjust to staying with lower numbers, but when I look back to my December and January readings (not published here) he was running all blacks and reds and once in a while he would throw in a high pink...just to make me think we were making progress. So all in all there is a slow improvement.

Having to set my mind to "thinking" in US mg/dl and human meter readings really throws me for a loop sometimes. I do have a FS Lite human meter (I got it free when I bought the FS Lite strips) but I am so used to thinking in pet meter terms that I stick with my AT2 meter. I actually use the FS Lite strips with my AT2 meter. They are made by the same company and I did a lot of comparisons using AT2/AT strips VS AT2/FS Lite strips and the reading are very very close. So the FS Lite strips are about 1/2 the price of AT2 strips. I still have a few AT strips left and especially on lower numbers I will do a 3 way comparison. AT2/FS Lite strip (pet numbers)...AT2/AT2 strip (pet numbers)...FS Lite/FS Lite strip (human numbers). I have far too much curiosity and need for data.:rolleyes:

Ooh. I might just have to get some of those strips if they are so much cheaper. Thanks for the tip!!!

I did a LOT of testing months ago. Unfortunately I did not keep all the data, since I wasn't posting here at that time, just lurking in the background. I did a test on May 27 since I wasn't getting any changes in his morning readings and I kept that one:

AT2 with FS lite strip.....21.4 Pet number
AT2 with AT2 strip.........21.7 Pet number
AT2 with FS Lite strip.....14.2 Human number

These were all done with the same drop of blood...no easy task but my Tuxie is very patient. These are all in mmol/l since I only did them for my own comparison, but I know they make sense to you. :D
 
There have been a few people that have switched to the FS lite strips for their AT2 meter. I always tell them to make sure they have some AT2 strips and do side by side comparisons with both types of strips with the same drop of blood so that they are confident the numbers are accurate.
