Hi PT friends,
Over these past few weeks, Groucho started doing something he never did before. I'm hoping maybe you might have some thoughts about it.
I'm insulin dependent diabetic and have to check my blood glucose throughout the day. It's a standard thing around here and Groucho never paid any attention to it.
About 2 weeks ago this began, he's all over me as soon as he sees the glucometer. He's on my lap giving kisses on my face and puts his paws on my shoulders while demanding to be petted. Even while trying to get things set up to run the test he gets more insistent and doesn't let up. Something that takes less than a minute has become a drawn out process. My insulin pen is on the table in easy reach should it be needed. Groucho has never paid any attention to it. When all this started, he began sniffing at the insulin pen and gently touching it with his paw but has made no effort to knock it off or play with it. This happens every time I have to do the test.
Over the past several weeks something has been going on that has caused a lot of stress and my glucose has been running high. I'm very curious as to why Groucho started doing this literally out of nowhere. All thoughts are welcome.
