Was that a FS strip in a FS meter Beth? If so the difference in reading between that combo and the AT meter with AT strip is typical.

Morning, Beth. 
A difference like that is perfectly within reason for the two meter types.

Yes , Kris, it was FS strip in FS meter and AT strip in AT meter....the gap between the two seemed larger than I would have expected....

You've got to take into account the influence of the two different calibrations and meter % variance when looking at the the different values.

So the moral of the story, Beth, is you have to go with one meter or the other. You can't reconcile the two readings. Now that you're in Lantus Land, the human meter is the way to go.

Also you said something yesterday about watching Elmo's behavior and appetite...he has been hungrier, little constipated....not as much improvement in his energy level as I would have expected tho....trying not to be over watchful and tedious about every little nuance in him..to just relax and watch.

Ah, that elusive goal of being able to just ... be. It's taken me decades - and I slip up regularly - to learn to live with ambiguity. Who'd have thunk that this FD forum could turn into a self help guide??!

Oh, Kris, it has helped me tremendously in that area....to just chill out..thot I had a pretty good handle on that but this is stretching me, in a good way. I am very layer back in all ares of my life except my kids and my cats...that is where I have to practice extra restraint .

Yes, that's what I mean. FDMB wants all dosing help, etc. out for peer review but I don't think they have rules against virtual PJ parties in the PM booth.
I'm heading out soon to do my Saturday errands so will catch up later.

Some say the horsey pursuit of dressage is like watching paint dry, horse is doing all the work and rider is just sitting there, yada, yada ... Ha!

It's handy to keep a note of the little nuances just as a matter of course. Sometimes you find that they build into a pattern (good things as well as things that might need a bit of attention).

Keeping notes does add to my peace of mind, Mogs, it really does.Btw, I have purchased a Relion meter /strips to do side -by-side BGs ....can't hurt and now I'm curious. Plus the Relion strips can be purchased easily and for a fraction of even the FS strips. Just want to do what's best for our boy.

He really is majestic! And one of the truly great horses, just like Arkle, Red Rum, Boomerang, Aldaniti, Desert Orchid and, of course, the legendary Dawn Run. (That cracking little mare gave my dad one of the best days of his life and some of his happiest memories thereafter, bless her!

They've got the most wonderful relationship. It's so sad that they won't be competing any more.
Makes me cry happy tears whenever I watch their performances. They were outstanding at the London Olympics.
