Question for AlphaTrack2 users following SLGS

[Ana & Frosty (GA)]

Since the SLGS method says to reduce insulin dose if BG falls under 90, is this the same number AlphaTrack2 users are using as well? Or are you using a higher number? In the past, I actually used 68 as the number, but now realize that is more appropriate for the TR method. I’m curious as to what the others are doing.

Thanks.

It is a different number on the AT2 but I don't know what that number is.

We used an AlphaTrak2 and Rufus was reduced immediately when he hit 90 or lower!

Well I am literally scratching my head. I don't know if I've ever read that question come up.... Doesn't mean it hasn't, probably has. Anyhoo since 90 is the number on a human meter I would set a higher number using the Alpha Track. There is no calculation to come the numbers. I would guess 100-120 maybe?!?

Hopefully other SLGS Alpha track users will chime in.

This question has come up about a million times. You still use the same numbers, ie. 90, for a reduction point. We have no way of translating human and pet meters numbers, so we go with what we have.

Figures. Guess I don't pay attention much to the pet meter questions
