I need to find a good/reliable glucometer to help me make sure my cat is regulated. The vet charges $100 to $150 per blood glucose curve and it seems to be getting out of hand (with no real results yet–and they “don’t like to do fructosamines,” which are less expensive). I know the process takes time, but I don’t know how long my cat can hang on until we find the right dosing. So, I’d like to help further by purchasing a glucometer. I know absolutely nothing about them other than I have to buy test strips separately. My vet recommends a $200 glucometer made for pets, but I’ve read and have been told a human meter is just as good. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions? Is the Walgreen’s generic version just as good as an expensive one?
