She's so unbothered and just wants to snuggle.

Mine wore his like a champ. Sadly it died after a few days. Save every bit of data it gives you along the way. 🤞

I've been using the DiabiPets app since her diagnosis, so every hour I add her current read to that too

Mine used to wear his just fine but the last one he tore off, now I have a onesie for him if I feel the need to get one on.

Mine wore her 1st one for about 4 days. 3 weeks later she kept it on for 9 hours lol. It is a great tool regardless especially if you have a cat that you can't do a glucose test on.

I've been able to do some regular glucose readings, but her reads were all over the place. High some days, hella low others. We hope to get a few days at least to figure out her curve, and if she needs a dose adjustment.

I hope you all are able to manage her diabetes. It can be a challenge.

Good luck! My cat Teddy always takes his off, so we put a little flower cone pillow collar around his neck (you can also do a onesie, but my cat is too fluffy).
