2/27/25

Naturally last night when I thought it'd be an easy night, a new crisis emerged. Either the 5 day old Libre failed or he bit it again. I see a puncture in it now but I didn't notice it when I replaced it earlier, so I'm not sure if that came after or not. My partner says it absolutely wasn't there before, so at least it's likely not Xander's fault. Discouraging night/day. I wish there could be a full week without any new crises. (I fully realize there are people and kitties here going through much more, so please don't think I'm not aware! I'm just so exhausted and wish something could go right/easily some of the time.)

The Libre is least accurate in the first 12-24 hours but I'm planning on giving him his AM dose anyway (he's been sitting so high that I don't think it's likely that he's low enough to worry about it, but I'm willing to reconsider if I'm told I should.)

Hope everyone is doing well. Happy Friday!

Ahh, sorry Brianna. You’ve got a tough situation with the manual testing too. When does it come back online?

I'm sorry, I know I must sound like I complain a lot! Just wish it didn't always have to be so hard lol

Yeah, I really wish we could just manually test. It would make everything so much easier. I saw a video of a cat yesterday literally sleeping through it! Ugh.

It's actually just come online a couple of minutes ago, so I'm getting readings, just not sure how accurate they are. It's saying 345 right now, which does seem to be on par with where he's been around this time lately.

I'm so sorry! This disease just isn't easy to treat, and it is more difficult, I think, when you can't manually test. Feel free to vent here--you're not complaining--if anyone understands, we do.

I feel for you Brianna
Some days/weeks are just hard, aren't they. And so much harder when we are tired and worried about our furry ones. I'm struggling a bit too at the moment. Hoping for a quiet and restorative weekend for myself and Noogi, you and Xander, and anyone else who is battling at the moment.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this. Hopefully the weekend gets better you can relax for a bit.

They are! So often it feels like one step forward, two steps back. I'm so sorry that you're struggling too, Helen. Thanks for the kind words and I'm sending the same hopes for a quiet and restorative weekend to you and Noogi too!
