You depend on accurate blood glucose measurements to manage canine and feline diabetes. The best defence against Diabetes complications is to check glucose levels often, but the high cost of testing can make this impossible. This test system allows a high quality glucose monitoring at a price that allows you to test as often as necessary.
However you can test a cat’s blood sugar with the meter that you use for yourself. You do not need to get the AlphaTrack veterinary one. You also do not need to go in for regular glucose curves or fructosamine testing if you test at home. It may take some education for your vet to agree though not all realize that you can accurately test at home.
Some cats do well having their blood sugar tested right away and some take a bit more time to get comfortable. If they are used to being handled, it will be easier going at first.
The AlphaTrack Test Strips are used with the AlphaTrack Blood Glucose Meter in order to measure glucose (sugar) in whole blood. The AlphaTrack Test Strips are for testing outside the body ( in vitro diagnostic use). The AlphaTrack Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use in the veterinary professional and home settings to monitor animal blood glucose levels.
