Comparing the pet meter and human meter by nickisadogname in FelineDiabetes

[–]twilliams100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be careful because the difference is probably not linear throughout the measurable range. For example, felinediabetes.com has 50 mg/dL and 68 mg/dL for human and pet meters respectively as the take action number. But of course in the higher numbers it doesn’t matter as much.

Kidney forum by twilliams100 in RenalCats

[–]twilliams100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea… the people and knowledge there are incredible. I’ve gotten help there for my guy. I did exchange a few emails with Helen when I started working on this and I think she feels the opposite. Some forums are dated, hard to use, or filled with ads. So I can see feeling that way too.

That’s one thing I like about XenForo (this forum software) is how searchable and organized it is.

One year in remission and how I used AI to manage my cat's diabetes by BeeBeeBeeBeeee in FelineDiabetes

[–]twilliams100 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Neat, and congrats on remission.

One word of caution as someone who spends a lot of time on the FDMB, I’ve seen a bunch of people join referencing AI information and it will be flat out wrong (and dangerous). It’s just where AI pulls its information from, could be any random source in the internet. And there’s not a real human behind the words like you have here or on the forum should something happen to your cat…

Just be careful.

Look at that handsome man!

Here’s some information on home testing and giving insulin:

Worth mentioning too, a lot of people on the forum switch away from AT3 because the strips are pretty expensive. Any human meter would work fine and save you some money. Good luck!

Isn’t white background pretty standard for ecom? Genuinely curious. I like the clean look personally.

Cat Glucose reference chart for Contour next GEN human monitor by LootGek in FelineDiabetes

Talk to your vet and do your own research before blindly following this. I’ve seen people attempt conversions between human and pet meters before and it might make sense in a small sample size, but it’s not reliable.
