218 is almost blue with meter variance.
Btw, is there a reason you use AT? The strips are super expensive compared to a human meter. Apologies if you've been asked this several times already!

I actually use the AT meter with Freestyle human strips, as they are half price the pet ones. Every time I get a new package I measure the variance using the control substance, and than I add or subtract from the results that variation. Also I have a package of pet strips that lasts for many months, as I only use to compare in case I get an unusual result. So far the method works very well. Indeed the AT are enormously expensive. I live in Canada, and the Freestyle human strips are I think the cheapest we can get.

It's not recommended to mix meter and strips (I guess you must have been told this!). I have read here that one can get good deal on Ebay for strips in Canada.

The Bravo meter is also popular among are Canadian members. The meter is free and strips are CA$40 for 100. But it can be only bought online:

Freestyle does both the human and the pet strips for AT, and the difference between the results is minimal, but Bravo is much cheaper indeed, I will switch to Bravo soon.
