so i've been usinig the Bayer Contour(no coding) and when i took it to the vet to compare it, it was 0.6 off(mmol) - so theirs read 10.1 mmol and ours was 9.6 mmol.
so away we went on our merry way.
Tonight i tested Annie here's how it went
+0 - 11.6 and insulin right after(209mg)
+1 - 8.7(157mg)
+2 - 9.8(176mg)
+3 - 16.8(302) ...... ????? what?
so i was like, that seems high in an hour, lemme test her again... tested her again and it was 12.3(221mg)????, tested her again on the other ear, and it was 13.2(238mg), tested her again on the other ear and it was 12.3 again(221mg)
What the heck! this REALLY frusterates me.... have i been getting unnecessary numbers all this time? what could be going on here? this makes me wonder if all her numbers have actually been way higher, or way lower then they are? now i don't even know what number she is at.... but it compared so close at the vet! I'm glad i decided to retest.
i want to get a new meter tomorrow, but i just spent 80 bucks on a new pack of 100 strips... can i return them unopened with a receipt?
Anyone else have this problem randomly??
ugh! i'm frusterated to no end right now.... especially now that i've just increased her dose... and now i don't even know what her actual number is.
*EDIT* - i just tested again, and it was 12.7(229mg) so am i safe to assume right now that she was actually at 12.3??? because i got 12 3 out of 5 times testing her?
oh and also - i changed the lancet each time to make sure!
