[Diabetes-talk] a question for those living with cats

[Robert Shelton]

My wife, a diabetic, is very close to her cat, and that kitty has alerted
her to low blood sugar many times. I think they can detect low bg by smell,
or perhaps by the way the human is acting or both. Of course, she's not
perfect, but when the kitty is acting weird, it's not a bad idea to see
where you are.

When you have a low blood sugar morning and are in the presence of your cat,
does your cat tend to meow at you more often?  After what happened to me
this morning, I'm starting to wonder about that.  This particular cat is
well fed and has her litter cleaned daily and has water and knows where all
of them are.  In fact, this morning when I put food in her dish she didn't
come to the food and start eating right away either.  That usually happens
other mornings.  This question might be worth a little in list research.  Do
cats living with diabetics get more verbal during periods of time diabetics
are going through low blood sugar episodes?  This morning, I was at 70 and
where I live a nurse does the testing each day and logs the results.
