TrueTrack, ReliOn & TrueMetrix comparison

[Diane and Kierra]

I don't know if this is the place to put this info. I thought it might be of interest to some others. When Kierra was diagnosed with diabetes (and later with acromegaly), I started out with a TrueTrack that I have had since 2007. I rec'd a ReliOn Prime from Steve&Buddy recently when I bought his left over Lantus pens and then I decided to buy a TrueMetrix that got good reviews on the Consumer Report. I used them all side by side at one point or another until I ran out of strips for the ReliOn and TrueTrack (I am only using the TrueMetrix now). I did scatter plots. The TrueTrack and ReliOn Prime readings were basically the same (avg 4% difference). The TrueMetrix was always lower than the other two (24% lower than TrueTrack and 21% lower than ReliOn). Below are the scatter plots.

Yor dat just confirms that there is no multiplier to convert cat BG taken on a human meter to pet meter/lab BG. That makes sense since there are differences between the glucose distribution of glucose between the the red blood cells and plasma (liquid portion) in human and cat blood.

Been meaning to ask what you mean Larry? All three meters are human meters. How does the pet meter fit in? I think it is interesting that the TrueTrack and TrueMetrix were quite different (theTrueMetrix always read lower bg) but they are made by the same company (Trividia).
