1. Othello my kitty

Saved my life when I was in a diabetic stupor. Didn't know I was diabetic He kept jumping on my chest to wake me up.Sniffing my breath.
When I finally could think I called 911

I think he was scared I might die.

And since that time he comes up to me and sniffs my breath if I am low. First he will go where I am at. Get close up and sniffs..

Than he jumps down and leads me to the gluconometer on my nightstand. He walks a little looks back to see if Im coming than jumps on the nightstand. Waits until I am done the poke then escorts me to where I keep sugared candy for just that sort of situation.

He wasn't trained to do it,he just does it.

3. Im so glad he's my kitty

I thank Bast and Sekhmet for him.

I think he got used to my sugar maintenance routine and he memorized it. But sniffing my breath is his signal to check sugar levels.

5. When the body has used up all it glucose, it starts breaking down fats...

...into ketones, which have a very distinct odor.

6. years ago I read about a dog who would warn his owner of upcoming epileptic fits.

Animals know more than we think.
