I was bored and was thinking about many of you who test your pups on their lip. I was wondering if saliva made a big difference, so I made an unscientific test on myself!
Poked my finger (sorry, didn't stick MY lip) and my reading was 121 (about two hours after a good breakfast)
Then spit on my finger(!) and reloaded a new test strip. The blood / spit mix read 45.
Wonder how much dog saliva is mixed in with the dog lip test. I know you wipe the lip before testing, but I would think saliva forms in just a few seconds?
Thoughts, besides that I need to get a better hobby!
