Do you use the AlphaTRAK Meter to help manage your dog's or cat's diabetes? Tell us your AlphaTRAK story and you could be featured in our upcoming diabetes newsletter.
Tell us about your pet's experience. What symptoms did your dog or cat show? Was the AlphaTRAK system easy to use? What changes have you seen since you made the AlphaTRAK meter a part of their veterinary care?
These are just a few questions to get started. Of course we also want to know all about your pet outside of their diabetes. What's his or her name? Favorite activities? Favorite way to wake you up in the morning?
Your story will help others with diabetic dogs or cats understand how to work with their veterinarian to monitor their conditions at home with the AlphaTRAK system.

Testimonials
"I came home with lots of instructions from the veterinarian, including a DVD. I watched the doctor, watched the DVD and started using the AlphaTRAK meter at home. The best part is knowing that I am doing all I can to help my dog deal with his diabetes."
— Cynthia Kaemmerer
"AlphaTRAK is a good product and I’m thrilled with it. There’s been a few times when I’ve had a high reading— then I call the hospital. My veterinarian always wants to know if something changes."
— Helen Phillips
