Hello
My 7 year old male orange long haired tabby named Ralphie was diagnosed with diabetes almost two weeks ago. He is the youngest of my three cats. He showed the obvious signs - hungry all the time, extreme thirst, weight loss and the constant meowing! We eliminated dry food and went to FF Pate instantly and his numbers dropped. Unfortunately, they are up again so we are going to try insulin next.
Today I purchased a human glucometer, Accu Chek. We have done one test and the device itself registered 13.7 but on the App it shows up as 24.6. I am not sure why there are two different readings and I’m confused to say the least! It’s our first check so I guess we will try again later, but he is not happy with us and wouldn’t even come for dinner. I’m hoping this gets easier. I’m extremely overwhelmed like many people I have read on here. I also do not think my vet is going to be on board with the human glucometer, but I am trying to see if I can make it work.
Anyone had the same issue with Accu Chek guide?
