Can you test blood sugar without it tagging before or after meal, without having to actually turn the tagging option off?

There is an option to disable tagging. Turn on the machine, Settings &gt; Tool Settings &gt; Tagging: off. The recall is about meter shutting down if your glucose reading is higher than 1024. If your glucose is that high, you'd know it or you are already in hospital. I have no issue with accuracy.

Not unless you purchase it separately. I think its about another $69. I didn't get it but have no trouble controlling the sugar without it. It would be nice to have but not absolutely necessary.

they will upset your stomach a tiny bit. Nothing major but I have taken them and forgotten to eat within the hour it recommends. My blood sugar doesn't allow me to skip meals.

I am not in the medical field, so I can only say what sounds right to me. If not diabetic, but just trying to see how your body is handling sugar, I would suggest first thing in the morning and bed time. Other than that you might like to try 1 hr. after a meal to see how your body is handling it. I believe it should take 1 hr. to peak and 2 hr. for your glucose level to be back to normal. Again, I am not a nurse or Dr. so this just comes from personal experience.

I had a diabetic cat and I used a "human" blood glucose meter. I can't imagine why you couldn't use this one or any other, though getting one that uses the smallest blood drop possible will help. You take the blood from their ears. Just make sure you understand what is high sugar for a cat; the numbers are different than for humans as I recall. I'm sure the numbers are online somewhere or your vet could tell you.There are a bunch of YouTube videos on how to take a cat's blood sugar reading: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=blood+glucose+meter+cat&oq;=blood+glucose+meter+cat&gs;_l=youtube.12..0l5j0i5l5.66.14454.0.20015.8.2.0.0.0.0.15480.15480.9-1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.WYxeeEWjtEoAlso see http://www.sugarcats.net/sites/harry/bgtest.htm I had a diabetic cat and I used a "human" blood glucose meter.

Not sure what information you are trying to get. Yes, these are TRUETrack daily self-testing strips for home monitoring by a person with diabetes. They do provide quick, but not "instant" readout. It takes about 10 seconds on a TRUETrack machine. Is there a further piece of information you are confused on?

Ask your doctor. You should know how to carb count while using your insulin pump. If you find that this has too many carbs (after talking to your doctor of course), then you can also try the "No Sugar Added" Breakfast Essentials (Link to Amazon product page: Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials, Variety Pack, No Sugar, 8-Count Packets (Pack of 4) )

No. If your blood sugar is very high you will be prompted to check ketones by your meter. These strips only test blood sugar. Ketosis is generally only in type 1 diabetics.

it's kind of stupid because the actual tester you have to use with all 10 tests expires 4 months after opening... so u have to use all 10 tests within 4 months. But I've loved watching my a1c go down fast!!! It's been a motivater for sure! You get the result in 5 minutes!

if you check your sugars as often as you should, even a 60 day time frame would be enough. you should check your levels at LEAST twice a day!!

Yes, but you may want to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I use a tablespoon or liquid Splenda instead of sugar.

If you are referring to the Accu-Chek Aviva blood glucose testing strips, the expiration date is printed on the side of the vile containing the strips. It is very important to check the expiration date, because the strips, along with the microchip are designed not to work after the expiration date. Fortunately, the expiration date on the vile I received was more than a year ahead. So I had plenty of time to use them up.

No, the monitor doesn't begin testing until enough blood is pulled up into the strip. And it's easy to tell when that has happened, as the display will change symbols from a blood drop to a dash-line that moves across the display. Very easy to tell what's going on. After the dash-line goes away, then your blood glucose reading (number) appears. Also, not much blood is required to get the reading to start.

Less carbs/starch can tell the difference when I eat regular rice in my blood sugar

If it does it will be very few of them, I don't remember. Some of the testers come with 10 at most. Your most expensive part of testing blood sugar is the strips. These strips are some of the least expensive, but it is accurate in my opinion. hope this helps

No. Not at all. But seems to help with blood sugar, as long as you eat properly.

Yes, you tag it up before each shot. However, the tagging is effortless, quick and easy.
