new to home testing

I want to home test Kitty, but I was told by a vet that I need a monitor just for cats. Is this true or can I use my husbands monitor.
If I can use my husband monitor are the results the same as humans? Thanks

 

You can use your husbands monitor. Most people here use human meters. I used my mom`s meter to check my cat which was an Accu Chek Aviva it was very accurate.
The meters from the vet Alpha Track are very expensive and the test strips are also very expensive.
