Get ahead with VETAHEAD and join Dr. Laila Proença™ on 15 minutes of ZooMed (exotic animal medicine) content. Today, let's put portable glucometers to the test — literally. A new study takes on the challenge of figuring out whether those quick glucose readings in bearded dragons are actually reliable or just giving us false confidence. Turns out, things get messy fast. From wild overestimations to numbers that completely miss the mark, these devices might be leading us down the wrong diagnostic path.
Dr. Laila Proença™ breaks it all down with her usual clinical humor and critical insights — because the last thing any of us needs is a math problem during rounds. If you’ve ever second-guessed a glucose reading in a reptile, this one’s for you. Grab your coffee, and let’s talk about when these devices help… and when they absolutely don’t.
