Some pets can get anxious and stressed when visiting their vets, which can affect their blood glucose levels and impair their results. Home-side testing is convenient for everyday monitoring, and can be more comfortable for the animal. The importance of using a species-specific meter for glucose monitoring: When monitoring blood glucose levels, it is important to use a meter and test that has been specifically calibrated for the animal you are monitoring. Humans and animals have a very different distribution of glucose in their blood: In humans, 58% of glucose resides in the plasma, whilst in dogs it is 88% and cats as high as 93%.1 Human meters, for example may give a higher glucose reading for a dog or cat, and if the measurement was not correctly converted to the appropriate species, it could lead to a false positive result. If insulin was unnecessarily administered based off this reading, it could have a dangerous effect on the animal.2 The CentriVet Blood Glucose Test Strips are specifically calibrated for both dogs and cats, supported by extensive accuracy studies to ensure confidence in your analysis.
