  No, I’m not recommending signing up to libre and dexcom with as many email addresses as you can possibly obtain to get free samples… if its human ones you’re using.

    Oh that’s already occuring …do they not check addresses? because that will be fun.

    (So far one to my po box under maiden name, one to our house under married, one to his lordship’s work… and we have friends who are literally settling on a new house…)

      Does it need to be refrigerated? I could try to order some and post it on if you have a PO box

        Nah its just a blood glucose monitor stickon. I would be very grateful, their discount “trial” is $15. Our local chemist has $125 (pets dont get NDIS).

        You don’t want to know what the AEC charged.

      Oh well done! I don’t think they do check addresses, I work in community health and we’ve all signed up over the years for our human clients.

  Would a bodysuit prevent grooming it off while allowing you to lift and look?

  Props to you, I’ve done round the clock care but not diabetes

    The grooming isn’t so much the problem as them plonking the new one right on the nape where we make the bloody tent to inject.

    She loves wearing shirts, so if grooming becomes a thing we’ll just put her collection of sleeveless tees on.

      I know :( If it helps at all I was varying the injection sites to spread the load, so would sometimes do it a little bit to the sides or lower down and it worked.

      The other place or feline diabetes forums would be able to give more useful info
