We hear that song and dance a LOT around here
What's important when making dose decisions is "trends" more than individual numbers.....Is the current dose getting them where we want them to be? That's what matters most.
The main difference between the pet meters and the human ones are the costs involved....the strips for the pet meters are about $1 EACH, where the Relion Confirm or Micro's strips are $35.88/100
For those of us that are testaholics and test 6-8 times a day(or more), we'd have to rob a bank to afford the strips for the pet meters....you also have to either buy them from the vet or online...with the Relion meters, if you need them at 3am on a Sunday night when you're cat is having a hypo, you can get them! You can't if you're using the pet meter and run out of strips at the wrong time
The pet meters read a little higher than human ones, but as long as you understand the "scale", that's what matters. It's kind of like a thermometer....they have them that read in Farenheit and Celcius....as long as you understand the scale, you know if 32 degrees is cold or hot!
