I disconnected my pump like normal for my nightly shower. I set it on the counter on top of some towels so the vibration wouldn't bother me. Usually this is a safe place for my pump, away from the direct steam of the shower and any immediate water sources.

 

My cat thought this was an ideal place to have a hockey game. I was halfway through my shower and suddenly I heard the pump slide into the sink. My cat made it his very own hockey puck! Visions of a cracked screen or a completely broken pump flashed through my mind as I screamed at the cat.

On Thursday night, I found myself in an emergency room exam room at 2 am, waiting anxiously and staring up at a picture of a baby cocker spaniel posing cutely in a watering can.

No, don't worry. Charlie is fine. I'm fine too. Whole family is fine. This was an emergency room for pets. But wait, I don't even own a pet.  I'm not even a pet person. I had to get up for work in a few hours. What was I doing?

I found this post recently in a diabetes forum.
Topic: Juvenile diabetes
A dear friend of mine has an 8 week old that was not thriving. She ruled out heart issues early on, but recently he became seriously ill. Upon further investigation, he was diagnosed as diabetic! Never heard of a baby with diabetes. His eight siblings are all fine. They have also tested for pancreatic insufficiency. He's just plain old diabetic. Thank goodness!
A supportive member of the forum responds:
Oh good grief! So young!
Eight siblings? Sorry, I left out one important detail. It's about a dog; an 8-week-old English Springer puppy.
I'll admit, this post was originally going to have a slightly sarcastic edge to it as it was triggered by recent FDL entries of pet owners who compared their dog or cat's diabetes to human beings living with the disease. (READ MORE)

I'm going to fight. I want a CGMS and even though the universe may have spoken, I'm still going to fight. (Perhaps I misunderstood what the universe was saying.)

 

I put a lot of emphasis on thinking that the primary benefit of using a CGMS is to detect lows. There was a time when I had some pretty serious hypoglycemia unawareness. I remember taking a walk with the family once and not feeling low until we returned. I was 35. I didn't feel it until I was 35. That's scary stuff.

 

More lately I've been thinking that one of the better benefits of using a CGMS is to ward off highs either between meals or before the two-hour post-prandial check.
