Good Morning everyone ~O) ~O)
Yesterday
AMPS 185 1.5u
+ 3 167
+ 6 180
PMPS 214 1.5u
+ 5 228

Some more meter comparisons... considering switch even though I have 150+ FS strips
It appears even at lower #s the FS is TOO low

FS = Freestle Lite OT = One Touch UltraSmart

Simon's AMPS 229 (FS) not compared

+ 2 182 (FS) 248 (OT)

+ 4 68 (FS) 100 (OT)

However.. tested Justice (civvie) again 60 (FS) 62 (OT)

And allowing for a 20% variance, bring the OT down and the FS up and they overlap. :-|

That's one thing that's bothered me in many of the data I've seen in the FS threads,
the other meter seems to be assumed correct, which even the manufacturers don't claim.

Simon's 68/100 and Justice's 60/62 seem to contradict. @-)

At a loss somewhat here, I don't want to chuck that many strips, BUT, this is
complicated and stressful enough without adding another layer of uncertainty.
Looking at maybe the Bayer Contour. Sample size bigger than FS but smaller than OT..
 
Re: 12/9 SimonB AMPS 229 +2 182 +4 68 +5 48 METER ???

Crazy making for sure :?

Also he's now 48 @ +5 on the FS (couldn't get an OT)

Update 45 @+5.5
 
Re: 12/9 SimonB AMPS 229 METER ???

Crazy is RIGHT.
I've been reading reviews/feedback about my Relion Prime -- 50% "way off", 50% "accurate". :shock:

Must. Take. Break.
 
Re: 12/9 SimonB AMPS 229 +2 182 +4 68 +5.5 45 METER ???

Simon was 45 @+5.5, he ate 1/4 can FF Chicken and 2 Temptations, now @ +6 I got a nice big drop and
got 56 on the FS, and 58 on the OT, very similar to Justice's results.

What sticks out is the 68(FS) / 100(OT).... can it really be that finicky?

DW has officially diagnosed me as having OCDCTD

Obsessive Compulsive Diabetic Cat Testing Disorder :lol: :lol:
 
Re: 12/9 SimonB AMPS 229 +2 182 +4 68 +5.5 45 +6 56 METER

I think the issue was that the meters were comparable at the lower end of the range. There were bigger differences at the higher end with the Freestyle giving lower readings so people were mistakenly thinking their cats didn't need more insulin (and they did). This would be consistent with Simon's readings and your civvie's.

You can cure OCDCTD. Your cat just needs to go OTJ!

Thanks Sienne

Simon is staying in the FS sweetspot :lol:

We had a bit of spitting up this afternoon, and lousy appetite at PMPS, so he only got 1.25u.
