  • AlphaTrak meters available

    Along the way, I have received three AlphaTrak meters - one old AlphaTrak original version and two AlphaTrak 2 meters, one used and one I believe has never been used.

    These meters are available to anyone interested in them, with preference given to people who are having difficulty paying for their dog's diabetes care.

    I happened to be going through some stuff today - knew I had one or two but didn't realize I had three of them! Would love to put them to use instead of sitting in a drawer here.

    First one who asks me for it gets it - meter of choice until they're gone.

    This is very kind of you. I wish I saw this a week ago, before I bought mine!
    I have one, however, I wanted to share where I got mine for $52.99.
    HealthyPets.com There are often coupon codes for this site somewhere out there, too.
    Any idea where to get Control Solution and strips at a good price? Can I use Control Solution for another glucometer in the AT2?
    I've found FS Lite strips are more expensive than AT2 strips. Walmart.com has a box of 50 for $29.25 right now, with free s&h.
    How often should the Control Solution be used?

      Personally, I probably used control solution 3-5 times over 10 years. I’m sure some use it whenever they start a new box of test strips, but the range of acceptable results is so wide I didn’t find it worthwhile.

        Hello! I have been away for a while, but I’m happy to say Mr Shadow is doing great. There are days when he will refuse to eat and gets 1/4 of normal insulin amount. Here is my question: do you have any alphatrack booklets to keep track of his glucose readings? Ours is quickly coming to its end.

        Thanks in advance!

          I don't - just the meters. I suspect you can find something online to print yourself or perhaps can buy the AlphaTrak log - or log of another brand.

          I always kept all of my records in an Excel spreadsheet.

              I do. I am going to ship one of the AlphaTrak2s to someone temporarily to use to calibrate her Relion. I can send you the other one.

              Send me a message or an email (k9diabetes@gmail.com) with your full name and address and I'll send it along.

              I'd like to get them in to use, even as a backup. They aren't doing anyone any good sitting in a drawer here.
