    Oh that’s already occuring …do they not check delivery addresses? because that will be fun.

    (So far one to my po box under maiden name, one to our house under married, one to his lordship’s work… and we have friends who are literally settling on a new house…)

        Nah its just a blood glucose monitor stickon. I would be very grateful, their discount “trial” is $15. Our local chemist has $125 (pets dont get NDIS).

        You don’t want to know what the AEC charged.

          So it’s a one off? Yeah I’ll see how I go, if they let me have multiple to the same address (and whether they get pinched 😬)

          Edit: Damn, terms and conditions say you can get stung full price or it gets canceled if they find out you did it multiple times. And it can retroactively alter the agreement. Maybe I can get one from each site then

          Edit 2: I ordered one from Libre and denied authority to leave so it won’t get pinched. But then the post office might not tell me it’s arrived so 🤞 Another site didn’t have a trial option so I might come back to that later

                yeah but we’re also in a position to weather them.

                EDIT: sorry that sounded rude.

                I don’t like taking charity when it’s not needed - it takes away from those that do need it. If that makes sense.

                  That’s ok, no offense taken. I tend to be oddly cagey with giving out some info online (even with trustworthy people) so I really don’t mind just giving it. It’s nothing compared to what I used to cover with Melbcat.

                  Sorry to make things awkward

                    You didn’t make things awkward, i promise. And i get being cagey with details. Internet’s full of weirdoes

          Edit: Never mind, a sensor that comes off can’t be reattached.

          Places like Vet Shed online have cohesive bandages that could protect the new one. Sometimes they wrap it over taped IV cannulas to stop the pet chewing them out. (Maybe diagonal going under one front leg to over the other shoulder if a figure 8 would put pressure on her neck.)

          Edit: Uhh… here they recommend superglue https://www.vss.net.au/videos/application-of-a-libre-sensor.html

            Surgical glue is great - the usual vet didnt use enough, hence why she was able to groom it off. And now a nasty raw area poor baby, I gotta call them today and find out if i can get cat-friendly cream at my local chemist

      Oh well done! I don’t think they do check addresses, I work in community health and we’ve all signed up over the years for our human clients.
