What a darling puddy tat! His little face and fluffy ruff remind me so much of Idjit. I have read that the AT and human meters can differ more significantly the higher BG numbers are.
This from my file collection of information:
You cannot compare numbers from a human to a pet meter because you're using a different point of reference for them. It's more important that a meter be consistent, than accurate (we are generally looking for trends in data to adjust the dose, not single, exact numbers). There is also a +/- 20% variable allowed in any glucose meter, including pet meters.
So, don't worry, choose one to use and record the data. Then you are going to see the trends and patterns and be able to determine if a dose is working, or an increase or a decrease is indicated. The veteran members will be able to advise you on that issue.
If you have your spreadsheet set up for AT2 and decide to use the ReliOn Prime for testing, you can ask for help to configure the ss to accurately reflect the human meter readings.
I know you are new at this and you are trying hard to understand everything all at once, and get it perfect. I did the same thing. But you are doing great Liz, and you can only go so fast. Be sure to take some time for relaxation for yourself. I am so glad you got to enjoy watching Figaro playing and being happy today.
This is from the FAQs forum and when I read it, I began to allow myself to breathe a little easier and realize that I was doing all that I could at the moment.
