Easy to use.

This meter is easy to use and comes with a disk that teaches you how to use it. Follow the directions and you should not have any difficulty. I have read some folks have problems purchasing the strips; you MUST verify you are buying strips for the AlphaTrac 2, otherwise you will receive the strips for the previous model. I have also found my cats ear works best on a setting of 2 on the lancet device. Hope this helps.

I choose to test my dog at home not only to save money but to get better results with it being less stressful on my beautiful yellow lab. The instructions were easy to follow and thus giving me the knowledge to properly test my dog for accurate results.

Before i bought your product the alpha trak 2 blood monitoring system meter i was a pure nervous wreck! my cat trey was diagnosed w/diabetes a few months back. I was never sure to give or not to give insulin,plus everytime he went to the vet his sugar levels were thru the roof, the vet recommended i check his sugar at home because it would be more accurate because he was in his own comforable environment. now i can check any time and don't have to be as nervous!! thanx so much

AlphaTRAK 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System Meter
By:kcat
Date:October 23, 2012
Pet:Cat
The AlphaTRAK 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System Meter is great. Detects and measures a tiny drop of blood. Recommended by my vet, so I picked one up. Highly recommended for testing your diabetic pet. I have a cat and poke his ear for the test. The kit is complete and is very informative and easy to use. Reliable and accurate.

AlphaTrak Glucometer

Pet:Dog
Breed:Bassett Hound
The AT Glucometer was recommended by my vet for our 9 yo Bassett who has diabetes. I find it easy to use, read, and store. I would refer a friend to use this product. I compared prices since this was a large expense and found EP had it the cheapest. Shipping was fast and FREE!

Easy to Use
By:Lu
Date:September 22, 2012
 fromChicago, IL
Pet:Cat
Breed:DSH
Best part: size of the blood sample is so small, less irritation to your pet's sample site. Cons: new strips turn meter on, I like to put the strip in and then when ready, turn meter on. Comparison: using my old gray meter (AlphaTrak) with new AlphaTrak II strips, results 219 and 199 in succession, and resetting code and using old strips, I got 177 and 181. Which one is right? Sort of forces you to buy the new meter. Abbot should be giving meters out free, since they charge so much for the strips.

Glucose test strips are expensive
By:Connie
Date:August 2, 2012
Pet:Dog
Breed:Golden Retriever
I had some problems with the initial programing
possibly because the Vet did a comparison
blood draw before I was able to set the meter. I would like to do serial blood sugars,but the strips are so expensive. I've had some problems with blood clotting before I could get it on the strip which required a second one. Overall, I'm happy to be able to test our dog's blood glucose without having to go to the Vet.

I have the original alphatrak meter that I use for my cat and recently placed an order for new test strips, and received the new alphatrak 2 test strips. After running a side by side comparison several times, I found the new alphatrak 2 results to be 75-100 points higher than the original. And yes I changed the code and did a test using the solution. I contacted the manufacturer and was told these results are "acceptable". Now I'm not sure what my cats levels are any more. Do I increase insulin and risk hypoglycemia? The only good thing is it automatically turns the meter on and off and reads much faster.

Results Differ from vets meter reading
By:Ang
Date:June 4, 2012
 fromWarren, mi
Pet:Dog
Breed:Lab
This meter is very easy to use. My only complaint is that the results are over 100 points higher than my vets meter. Not sure if there is a way to calabrate the meter. My vet says there is no way to calebrate it so it matches theirs. I plan to call customer support for help because I can't see paying this much for a meter that isn't accurate. The whole reason I bought the meter is to reduce visits to the vet for glucose tests.

Top Quality Meter
By:SevenMichael
Date:May 30, 2012

Pet:Cat
Breed:mixed shorthair
Purchased for my cat. My vet has the same brand, but not the AlphaTrak2 which is the newest model.
Saves readings automatically and keeps an average automatically. I downloaded the free PC program which lets me keep all my data and produces excellent graphs and reports.
I purchased a cheap ($5) cable to try and download directly to my PC, but it didn't work. Manufacturer does not make the cable, but the one they recommend is about $40. For that price, I'll probably just enter the data manually.
Meter is accurate and easy to read. The lancets don't work very well (won't penetrate the skin using the device supplied), so my vet recommended I use a 22 gauge 3/4 inch needle. It's large, but easy to use. I use the ear as the site.
Would buy this one again. Also, comes with a DVD which is very good and helpful.

Because of your excellent price, I decided to upgrade my 4+ year old AlphaTrak. Nice that it takes such a small blood droplet.

BUYER BEWARE

Breed:domestic cats & beagles
I recently purchased this monitor for tracking my cat's blood sugar. I works great, but........ the website lists the monitor as Alpha TRAK Blood Glusose Monitoring System Meter. Click on the product and It's an Alpha Trak 2 Monitor and yes I give credit fot the bold print saying it uses AlphaTRAK 2 Strips. This it what the title of the product should say when looking for it ion the site. On the same page you see related items and there are the test strips that say Alpha Trak Test strips. You think they are the correct strips for the meter. The design looks the same. No No No these strips are for the Alpha Trak not Alpha Trak 2 moniter and no Alpha Trak2 strips found on the website. You have to go elsewhere to purchase more strips. I have found only one site so far. Advertising for this product is very misleading so read all the fine print on all items! My faith in entirelypets.com has dropped considerably
