Hello all! As summary, skipped shot yesterday because AMPS was 59 and was leaving for work and this morning AMPS was 75. Gave full 2u dose and she's now 46 at +3. I gave her some MC. Should karo syrup only be introduced if she drops below 40? I've never had to use it before.

I am able to monitor and have plenty of MC, HC, and karo syrup.
 
I'm glad she came back up for you. I've only used karo once before. I think it's mostly used if the cat won't come up with just HC food when you see a number in the 40s. If you see anything below 40, a drop or two of karo is probably a good idea.

Sorry, got distracted with other work when she went back up! I've updated everything, we're still hovering in the upper 40s/lower 50s so far :) Haven't cracked open any HC
 
I use Karo mixed with LC even when Buzzy is in the 40s. He has an allergy to chicken, and it's the best method for me to ensure he's not exposed to an allergen.
At this point (for my cat and with the data I have on him specifically & how he's responded to things), if I'm around to do all the testing and such, I do LC only unless he touches the 40s, then I do Karo + LC to make a HC - he seems to respond well to it so far (KNOCK ON ALL THE WOOD!!)

Edit: I should actually be specific - what I have is light corn syrup - it isn't Karo brand.

Edit again: and also the above is only when I can be like ON him w/ testing. If I can't be there or need to sleep, I'll do LC + Karo earlier on. But, the point is - I have to avoid allergens & he's also still recovering from falling into this newly developed allergy, so I try to be really consistent in what food he's eating

Last edit I promise -- and of course -- Buzzy is newly diagnosed, whereas I know Panic was diagnosed a while ago :) so our number thresholds are different.
