Bayer Diastix Strips vs AlphaTrak
I have been using both the Bayer Diastix Strips and the Alpha Trak Glucose Monitor.
The last few days I have been walking Yukon and taking a urine sample for the Bayer strips and then also doing the Alpha track. When the Bayer strips show green which means that his blood glucose is under 250 I then do the alpha track and it shows in the 400s to 500s. Same thing when the Bayer strips show brown which means his blood glucose is 500 or above I do the alpha track and it shows in the low 300s. Has anybody had the same problem? I am assuming the Alpha Trak is correct. I have used two separate bottles of the Bayer strips with the same color on each. I just like to use the strips more than poking him and hurting him.

Re: Bayer Diastix Strips vs AlphaTrak
By the time blood sugar is processed and urinated out it is not the same as blood sugar is now testing with a blood glucose meter
what you are getting is a past look at what blood sugar was testing urine and the numbers you posted make complete sense So both urine and blood are probably testing adequately
