yeah but we're also in a position to weather them.

EDIT: sorry that sounded rude.

I don't like taking charity when it's not needed - it takes away from those that do need it. If that makes sense.

    That’s ok, no offense taken. I tend to be oddly cagey with giving out some info online (even with trustworthy people) so I really don’t mind just giving it. It’s nothing compared to what I used to cover with Melbcat.

    Sorry to make things awkward

    Oh and one more thing. I hope I’m not badgering you.

    But there’s an organisation that supports you after a diabetes diagnosis if that could come in handy. And a loan of a glucose monitor at home is available https://www.animaldiabetesaustralia.com.au/services/

    There is an initial consult and I can’t tell if the vet is currently in Melbourne or Queensland but that looked useful.

    awesome. that's what we're doing atm with our AEC specialist. Good to know it's protocol.

    I actually have a BGM - non diabetic hypoglycemic - but did pick up a set of different lancets for the cerybeast. Since my actual reader isn't tied to any record keeping, I can just use that and manually write her values if need be.
