Sugar baby update
Mr Cat's diabetes equipment takes up a lot of space in our kitchen now. And it is costing quite a bit of money. You need
- insulin (1 box was 45 €, it contains 10 x 2,5ml, I don't know how long that will last, but should be a couple of months)
- disposable syringes (1 box was 20 €, contains 100 syringes, we need two a day)
- glucometer (cheap... only 5 €)
- test strips (50 strips cost 27 €; we need two a day minimum and one every two hours maximium)
- lancets (to prick the ear for blood testing; one box of 200 costs 20 €; we need almost as many as we need strips)
The test strips and the lancets are what makes this an expensive illness. You need many of them if you do a days profile, because the strip can only be used once and the lancet really shouldn't be used more than once for hygenic reasons.
Something else you need is... patience. This morning it took us 15 minutes to get enough blood for the glucometer. Afterwards we were both exhausted.

You poor thing! It's called love and devotion ... both honourable qualities. Mr Cat is a very lucky cat. (but he looks like he deserves to be!)
Me second the above comment. Much love to Mr. Cat and you Sabine. Take Care @>-->----
Thank you both for your comments! he is extra special and I don't mind paying for the equipment, I would give all I have for him. I wonder why he still loves me after all I have to do to him now. Right now he is lying close to me, the paw on his keyboard makes hitting the o difficult.
I believe that he knows you're going through this lengthy expensive process for his benefit is why he loves you in return so much :)
