My readings are on an AlphTrak2 meter so they tend to be 30-40% higher than a human meter.

Since having a flat reading this morning with his .25 u increase Tuxie has decided that he is going to do some diving tonight...(can't let Mom get to bed early now can we??)

I have been giving him his regular homemade food..approximately 1/8 (1 Tbsp) after his +3, +4. and +5 readings. Tuxie tends to have his nadir around +5-+8 depending on his mood :)

Should I be giving him some HC food to keep him surfing and prevent a bounce...which he seems to do everytime he goes lower??

I'd stick with regular low carb to help him surf. HC we save for under 50.

I am using an AT2 meter...wouldn't 50 be in the hypo range?? That would be less than 32 on a human meter using a 30-40% difference between pet and human meter readings.

We're all so used to dealing with human glucometers I think that sometimes our brains don't even register...our fingers just type what we've typed so many times before o_O

Thanks Chris...I am one of the odd ones out that is using the AT2 meter. That is why I try to remember to put it in my posts.

Thanks Wendy..I have double trouble...I think in Cdn terms...mmol?l and pet specific numbers...so I have to do double think to give the right information and ask the right questions....which gets REALLY interesting when I am exhausted..lol
