@jdansti Thank you for your replies. I had looked up the AlphaTrak at the time but it was too expensive. My vet and I had come up with a system for correlating the readings on the human monitor with actual readings, so that I always knew right about where his blood sugar levels were. I hope never again to have to deal with feline diabetes. Two cats with it, and it was a very hard time. Esp in the 80s before monitors.

I forgot to mention that a form of B-12 called methylcobalamin has been shown to speed up the recovery from neuropathy once the cat is regulated. Methylcobalamin is present in the nerve tissues and is necessary for healthy nerves.
B-12 is normally sold as cyanocobalamin, but little of this is metabolized to methylcobalamin. If you decide to use this, make sure you get some that has no forms of sugar. The one I use is Zobaline, which has been formulated for cats.

The code varies from lot to lot.
Finally, please don't use my case to adjust your readings. I recommend that you discuss this with your vet, and maybe bring your meter to your next appointment to do a side by side comparison with your vet's meter.
Best wishes for total remission!

The Walgreens meter consistently read 50 mg/dl lower than the AlphaTrack. This concerned me because several times Rocky's BG was 50-60 and I thought he was going hypo.
I've learned that the reason for the difference is that cat blood cells are smaller than human and clog the membrane on the human test strips. If you get the AlphaTrak, you have to make sure that the "cat code" listed on the test strip container is entered into the meter. The code varies from lot

You're doing a great job. I also have a diabetic cat and I was using the same BG meter as yours. I wanted to let you know what I've learned about glucose monitoring.
When my vet had our cat, Rocky, overnight following dental work, I left my meter with him so he could compare several readings against the his AlphaTrak veterinary meter, which is designed for dogs and cats. The vet used peripheral blood samples from the ear.
He found that the human meter consistently read about 50 mg/dl lower t
