How is it going with the transition from KD dry? It is really high carb and cutting it out could make a big difference.

Thanks Bhooma,
Frankly, i was thinking the same thing about KD. The transition to lo carb wet is going very badly. I have tried different brands, sprinkled pure bites, smaller portions, heating, broth, baby food, he wont budge! The most i can get on a good day is 2 tbsp of fancy feast pate a day
 
I doubt the hovering is why. Cats’ bg often goes lower at night. Wow to preferring KD to fancy feast. Is it because he’s a dry food junkie?

Yeah, some cats are really hard to transition to wet food and it can take months.

You could try switching him to a low carb kibble like Young Again Zero Mature or Dr. Elsey's (Chicken) which are low in phosphorus as well (from a CKD angle) while you keep trying to transition to wet food. With his urinary issues (UTIs/crystals etc), he would do better with wet than dry.

Have you seen this website?

I am sure you are doing your best! Speaking of spending a lot of money, is there a reason you are using the AT meter and not a human one? Walmart's ReliOn is $9 for the meter and $18 for 100 strips.

That price is amazing! As soon as i am low on my strips i will switch over. Thanks for the great tip!
There was no reason i bought that meter other than beginners ignorance
 
Tonight will have completed 3 cycles on 2.25. He hasnt gotten out of the magentas yet ( but trying to do a full curve today). Thinking of upping his dose tomorrow am. I will not give up trying to transition to wet food, but his high numbers are so concerning
