Its gonna take me a day or two to transition to the new freestyle lite meter. On the Accu-Check he is 319 so I know he is still coming out of yesterday's bounce. Just want to do both checks until I see the new pattern/trend that the freestyle gives.

 

I hope Silver will surf safely today. Be careful comparing numbers from different meters. You can drive yourself crazy. Take it from personal experience when I switched meters.

 

I have no plans to compare but in the transition period - I want to know when he’s coming out of the bounce. The freestyle is deceptive at telling me that.

 

I can't help it - the big variance is making me nervous. 122 is lowest number seen in a long time but on the Accu-check its a pretty normal yellow 203. I'm only comparing today as I switch over. It does seem though if I take only the Accu-Check numbers for today - AMPS 319 +8 203 - it does seem he is out of the bounce so that is good. I am trying not to be concerned but accuracy now worries me. Where is he REALLY at.

OKAY - now we are Freestyle only - I am getting nervous about the greens I am bound to see soon - nervous as to shooting or not - and nervous as to their accuracy as there really isn't sudden improvement - its just a change in meter.

Have decided to hold the dose this week in the transition period.

 

Found this very interesting reading

According to this the Freestyle Lite is more accurate than the Accucheck.

 

Just out of interest - I tested my civvie (yeah, she hated me for that) - and I got 50 on the Freestyle and 76 on the Accu-check - close - but one is close to hypo situation for a cat on insulin and one is safe. A little scary how different they are even on low numbers. My civvie's last reading at the vet was 75.6.

 

Definitely liking the new meter readings.

 

Nice blues today

 

Yes but deceptive due to the new meter. Numbers really haven’t changed.

 

Yup - been a confusing day. Had this been a typical Accu check day it would have read:

AMPS 319
+8=203
PMPS = 274
=4=365

A typical day with a bit of a bounce at +4.

So its hard to be pleased with the low yellows and blues right now.
