You look so handsome in your jacket Ted

Fingers crossed @Psygon that he puts up with his jumper and leaves the sensor alone. Great idea to have a Libre if he'll put up with it

Fingers crossed Ted gets used to his lovely jacket and leaves well alone xx

Wanted to give a little update.

First up, having contacted the customer support team at the weekend we got a replacement device through the post yesterday. So last night we had another go at getting a device fitted. All went well and we got Ted's jacket on him. This time it has survived the night so fingers crossed we can keep this one attached.

I was going to get a pic of Ted in his jacket. But CK has been attached to him like glue. So you get Ted and CK 😀

 

[urbantigers]

Aww. CK wants a jacket too!

How is Ted doing @Psygon?
Hope the jacket has held out!!

 

[Psygon]

The jacket held up well, although I think because they were old leggings the elasticity was making them too big so we had to make a new jacket and now as of yesterday he has a rather fetching turquoise jacket.

The good news is it has kept his glucose monitor attached so we are starting to get some good data from the readings. His blood glucose is too high for a lot of the time which is a concern. But hopefully by getting a few more days of data we can work with our vet on what to do next.

I am finding the glucose monitor useful - but frustrating as well. I think that's the technology more than anything tho.

We have been reading up on how we can improve our home monitoring technique so that we can potentially improve how we were doing that and stop stressing him out. He's so good with almost everything else I think he just has super super sensitive ears.

Right now him, CK and Jammy are snoring behind me. Well Jammy is doing most of the snoring.

Oh Ted, blue suits you so!!
Sorry the readings are a bit higher than you hoped but I suppose at least you can now see them and act on those results faster, like you say, work with your vet to bring them into a more favourable range.

He's such a good patient, isn't he. Looks a very cosy Sunday there

 

[Psygon]

Obviously spoke too soon since the sensor failed this afternoon and I have no idea why. Might have been due to technical issues yesterday and then having to move the app from one phone to another multiple times to get it working.

Frustrating.

We will need to shave a patch on Teds other side if we want to try again.

Well good news in that I already had a response from the makers and a new sensor is on its way.

And I have cut up some leggings today to make Ted a little jumper so he is getting used to that this afternoon.

He's been having a proper good charge about while wearing it too so confident it doesn't restrict his movement. Going to be keeping a watch to see how he does with it for the rest of today.

He looks handsome in his jumper 🌼

Edit: Just caught up with the update, hope the sensor sorts out OK.

Hi. Just catching up on your posts about Ted. I admire your dedication and ingenuity and he couldn’t have asked for a better cat slave. Paws and fingers crossed it gets easier and better soon.

He doesn't have a new sensor yet but we do have one coming. In the meantime our vet has adjusted his insulin based on the data and while it's only been a couple of days he is seeming a lot brighter so far. Certainly seeming a lot more active and not so wiped out.

Hopefully will get the new sensor tomorrow.

Here he is hanging out with Darcy (front) and CK ( back) earlier.
