Why use animal-specific blood glucose monitors?
Human blood glucose monitors and pet-specific blood glucose monitors are significantly different!
Compared to humans, the physiological differences in cats and dogs result in a distinct distribution pattern of glucose in the bloodstream. In humans, blood glucose is primarily distributed between blood cells and plasma, while in pets, the majority of blood glucose is found in the plasma.
If you are still using a human blood glucose monitor to measure your beloved pet’s glucose levels, it is strongly recommended to switch to a pet-specific blood glucose monitor as soon as possible.
