Quote from the Amazon page in regards to the alpha trak2meter... you can only use the alphatrak 2 meter strips with this meter, is this true?

No, we have several members who use other strips in their AT but most of us use human meters because the strips are more affordable (as well as more available at odd hours)

Our protocols were all written with human meters being used too.

Very much appreciate the information, I'm new to all this.

The documentation that comes with the AlphaTrack meter/strips provides info on the testing that was done and the results of the accuracy being within 5%. If you use any other strips, you may not get the same accuracy, however, there are members here (like @JanetNJ ) who have done comparison testing using a couple of other kinds of strips, and they found the results to be close enough that they were comfortable switching.
