This is where calibrating your own meter against the vet's lab values is of value too. Then you know how yours is off since the different meters can...
That is what I do too. Cats can get fatty liver pretty quickly without eating (I had a cat die that way). I use chicken and broth baby food, add some...
I would add to this list is to bring your meter with you each time you go to the vet. Then when they draw blood also have them put a drop on your...
Also realize that often human meters register levels that are lower than they are in reality since the meters are calibrated on human blood, not cat...
My 15 year old cat was initially overweight and because diabetic. After less than one bottle of lantis (sp?) he went into remission. A couple of...
1) check how much blood the meter needs - some need more than others and getting one that uses less will be appreciated with a cat who is having a...
My 14.5 year old cat appears to be in remission after 7 mo of Lantus (3 units). Vet said to stop the insulin. Without insulin his morning blood sugar...
Well looking at all the food lists that are out there the canned Friskies foods that are lower in phosphorus (that a cat with kidney issues needs,...
You need to get a syringe and feed your cat that way or they could go into liver failure (I lost a diabetic cat that way in 1998 because no one told...
I just discovered that. When I called them before they were out. Now they aren't. I had them pull all the turkey and giblets from the shelves for me...
Sent you a private message. Due to Max's kidney disease I need low in phosphorus which is the turkey and giblets
Cranky and lethargic are symptoms of dehydration as well and that only BUN is elevated would tend to lend credibility that this was his problem...
I sort thought I had maybe sort of pissed off one of the posters early on in the discussion and I hadn't meant to at all.
Yeah I get that n=1 is not reliable for a comparison test. But since it is requirement that the meters are within tolerances of + or - 20% that...
I get an E-7 error if there is not enough blood. So far no error if there is too much but then it may not give an error message for that. The vet...
Ran some interesting stats on the differences between the use of the two different meters. Correlation between the two is quite high 99.4% that they...
I am not saying it isn't possible to use human meters. My vet uses them. Obviously they are useful and "good enough" (compared to labs) that we can...
Graph and table? I see links to things in your signature line but none are graphs and tables. Maybe I missed it?
Yes I agree there are two different things going on 1) the meter varies itself (within meter variation, not between meter variation is what this is...
PS to try to be really clear - if cat labs are Fahrenheit and my human meter is Celsius, my Celsius meter is reading a temperature that is too low...
