My Hamster Nips

I'm Dr. Seussing it again. Last weekend, I was telling my mother the story of Nikki's hamster nipping her. It left a perfect little blood drop, so of course I grabbed her meter and tested her blood - no sense in wasting perfectly good blood. However, now Nikki's wears her favorite pair of pink gloves when she gets Miss Mouse out of her hamster house - no more hamster nips for Nikki. I couldn't resist the urge to turn the whole incident into a Dr. Seuss type poem. When my hamster nips, Mom gets a strip She tells me not to trip, if I do I’ll drop the drip Then I test and that’s not a jest But now I’m on a quest I’m searching here, I’m searching there I’m searching everywhere At last! My gloves are lost no more Now my fingers won’t get sore When my hamster nips, don't get a strip No test, no jest and I think you know the rest

LOL
Last week I had a tooth pulled and I asked a fellow diabetic friend if she thought I could test from the blood since it hadn’t clotted. I told her only another Diabetic would understand that comment.

ROTFL - I’m with you! So did you test?

Nope I didn’t test but I seriously thought about it. Figured I would get an off reading considering it was mixed with saliva.

:smiley: Good Thinking, but it sure is tempting to test whenever blood is available isn’t it?

Yes it is
