Yup , same cat!Lol, I don't think your cat likes you very muchI recall it once attacked your libre too
Same to you Antje.Goodnight and a good hug back of course!
Yes, they do. And if they don't notice, there's still the dogs that jump barking over over my lap when injecting because they think there might be a bird outside, leaving me with no clue how much insulin got in me and how much got lost.My cats like to head-butt whatever pointy thing I’m currently trying to perforate myself with...
That went rather well, but I'm still happy I found the cap back when I went to feed the chickens. It was in the garden, a bit chewed on (I guess one of the dogs stole it from the cat), but it still fits my pricker!I'll probably curse myself first thing tomorrow morning when I try to jab myself at a depth of 3,5 with a capless lancet.
This is the best story of today! Whiskey probably felt his bg was too high, so came begging for some insulin!Hi @Antje77 ,
I must admit I'm more a dog person.
But.
A good number of years ago (10/12?) this strange cat just walked into our new home & would either nap on the futon, or come to the fridge where he seemed to take an interest in my insulin...? Not the food contents in the fridge, just the insulin.. He would silently mew if I performed an airshot to bolus... He pretty much made a habit of it for a while....
We gave this cat a name. "MrMankypuss."
This cat would often drop by & I managed to get a couple of pictures of it...
Soooo, asking round one day, a neighbour said "don't feed that cat." "Why?" I asked intrigued, "He's on a special diet, he's diabetic!"
That explained a lot with this cat! His real name was Whiskey!

I'm really impressed by people who are blind and can find anything back. I see very well and still lose everything you mentioned and more, even without help from my pets. But I managed to stab myself without the cap and not create a bloody mess upon wakingI’m just posting so I get notified when the morning update arrives.
I’m blind, so don’t need any pets to lose things like needle caps, lancets, strips, whole insulin pens... haha
I hope morning you appreciates bedtime you efforts.

I'm happy I'm the only diabetic in my household and don't have to test and inject my pets as well. In hindsight, I had a guinea-pig die from diabetes shortly before my own diagnosis, but what did I know?I would find it easier to keep an eye on a diabetic dog than a cat..

I have an older dog who's had it's share of uti's ,including a 3 day stay at the vet's following shock from 'nierbekkenontsteking' . (That's Dutch for an infection of like where your kidneys are but not your kidneys. I think.) It scared the s☆☆t out of me to see my dog so ill. After that, it's got two more uti's, so guess who regularly walks the dog with a ladle handy to get its urine checked? Yes, we look real crazy when I'm trying to catch a few drops of dog-pee.My old boss had to chase his dog round the garden with pee strips with regards to BS control... (This was back in the late 1980s.)
Oddly, there is a surprisingly high amount of carbs in a tin of dog food. Let alone the mixer...
Though, these days (aparently.) you can blood test a dog with a lancet to the ear?
Is it a technophobe? Or Luddite, perchance?Lol, I don't think your cat likes you very muchI recall it once attacked your libre too
