If You Get Error Messages: Read This 1). You might be doing something wrong! 2). Read the Booklet Again. 3). Before taking blood, make SURE the droplet icon appears. (Looks like a tiny snowman. 4). Press up arrow or S to turn meter on. Shows current date and time at bottom for 2 seconds. 5). Use up and down arrow to scroll through previous results. 6). Switch between dogs and cats by holding down arrow for 3 seconds. 7). Then press up or down arrows to select dog 1, 2, or 3. Same for cats. 8). Often best to put a thin layer pf Vaseline on are to be lanced for blood drop. Will help it to make a drop. 9). Press S. Once you see the droplet / snowman on the screen you have 2 minutes to take sample. 10). It's best to have the meter strip point straight down into blood droplet. Sideways is "iffy". 11). When you see the screen count down from 5 to 0 you know you did everything right! 12). There are 8 error messages that could occur. Pay attention and lookup (in booklet), what they mean. Error Messages: 13). Er1= Used test strip inserted. 14). Er2= Drop acquired too soon. Need to get sample AFTER blood drop / snowman appears. 15). Er3= Temperature during test was too cold or warm. Operating temp 41f to 113f, or 5-45c. 16). Er4= Sample too thick (viscosity), or insufficient volume. 17). Er5= Non Vetmate strip used, or was not inserted properly. 18). There is a problem with the meter. 19). An electronic error occurred during test. It took us a couple months to realize we were causing the errors. Now we have no problems testing.

Don't buy this! For one it may not cost a lot for the monitor but the testing strips are ridiculously priced. $40 for 50! And you have to use those strips. You can buy a nicer monitor at CVS and pay less in the long run for the testing strips. Secondly the damn thing doesn't always work correctly. You get errors left and right despite waiting for the darn thing to be ready and getting a sufficient amount of blood. What's the result?? Not just your wallet for using multiple testing strips for each time you test but also your animals being tortured having to poke them a million times. I had to go through 9 testing strips tonight just to get one reading. And its bs there wasn't enough blood. Don't buy!! Money aside, your animal will be the one who truly pays!!!

The meter was easy to use and works great. Still on a learning curve myself my dog Whitney was just diagnosed with Diabetes

I got this when my Bell first got diagnosed with diabetes in March 2025. It works great and I was glad to have it. It’s easy to use and it doesn’t take much blood at all & you get the results really fast. The only issue I have is the cost, as I have to test Bella twice a day. This is a great 1st monitor!

This meter works great! Affordable compared to other pet meters. The strips are still fairly expensive however, I also have a human meter, the relion classic from Walmart and they both test within an 8dl difference of eachother. Strips are way cheaper for those. So if ur strapped for cash and looking for decent price testing supplies, that is a great option.

Have not really used yet but the puppy pays attention to the beep.

First of all, I give 5 stars to the customer service team at i-Sens. They tried so hard to get me a tester, strips, and control solution that would provide me with accurate results. Unfortunately, the tester, strips, and control solution are NOT reliable in temperatures warmer than 77 degrees. And possibly defective if had been exposed to high temperatures, like when in transit to your home. I live inland of San Diego where summer temps are HOT. I do have AC and keep my thermostat at 78 degrees, but inevitably there's always fluctuations of room temperature. Even after cooling my house to 74 degrees, I tried on tester #3, I still couldn't get accurate readings setting it up with control solution. But since the i-Sens team had calibrated the set in their location I felt comfortable trying it for my dog. The test gave me a result of 34. At this level, my dog would have been passed out or dead. She was fine, energetic, and tail wagging. I can only presume it was because the set had been exposed to 90+ temperatures in transit. If you live in a cooler climate, this set might work for you. But I tried 3 testers and strips and NONE provided reliable results.

The diabetes monitor is very close to the vet monitor. Satisfied with the quality for the money. As with humans, the strips are pricey.
