Diabetes Monitoring Instrument

Diabetes Monitoring Instrument
Alpha Trak!
Now available for the first time! A highly accurate blood glucose monitoring device that you can use at home. When you have a diabetic cat or dog ideally you are supposed to run serial blood glucose measurements while starting insulin therapy to determine the proper dose. The problem is most animals get stressed out in a clinic setting and skew the results. Plus the constant venipuncture is not only painful and upsetting to the animal it's quite expensive! Using portable human glucometers at home is of limited value because the animal still has to be poked and the results are not that accurate due to the difference in the way cats and dogs metabolize glucose.
Now all that stress is unnecessary! Alpha Trak has been specifically designed to accurately measure blood glucose in dogs and cats! It requires the smallest amount of blood of any testing device-samples can be easily obtained via capillary sampling that is practically unnoticed by the animal (free instructional video). Results have been tested and verified against independent lab values and proven superior to other portable monitoring units.

Diabetes Monitoring Test Strips

Just like with Human Diabetic Patients it is advisable to periodically measure blood glucose to make sure you are giving the proper dose. Test strips for the Alpha Trak are designed to give you a reading with a tiny sample of blood that your pet won't even notice you taking!

Strips are available in a 50 count vial with 18 month dating for $64.99.

Diabetes Monitoring Test Strips

Test strips are put into the instrument first and then it is turned on. The instrument goes through a short calibration sequence and then it tells you it is ready for a sample. A small capillary sample is raised up on the pets skin and the unit and test strip are brought to the animal to apply the blood. Quick, easy, painless for both the animal and the owner!
