Pet Diabetes Management

The Case for Monitoring Blood Glucose at Home

Home blood glucose monitoring is a valuable tool to help the pet owner and the veterinarian achieve and maintain proper diabetic regulation. It also aids in preventing dangerous hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic complications.

In order to get the most accurate readings, blood glucose monitoring is best done under the pet's typical daily conditions. This is usually the home environment where feeding, exercise, and stress levels are normal. Blood glucose values obtained in the clinic often do not accurately reflect the values of a typical day, complicating the regulation process.

By using the AlphaTRAK® Blood Glucose Monitoring System, pet owners can conveniently obtain accurate blood glucose results and, possibly, reduce the overall time and stress required to maintain a healthy diabetic pet.
