A pet’s blood glucose can spike or dip depending on several factors. These include:
Eating
Exercise
Anxiety, such as being left alone or having company in the house
Moments of activity, like chasing a squirrel or active play
A visit to the vet
Other factors that could affect glucose meter results include using expired test strips, not adding enough blood to the test strip or using test strips that are not compatible with the AlphaTRAK 2 meter.
