Hi!
Comet was 92 this morning.
Which also means if he is trending like he has been he will be a little over 100 tonight.

For this OTJ Trial, is it ok to see numbers a bit over 100? Isn’t a normal glucose in cats 80-120?
 
Yes. It’s common to see occasional blues. If at Ambg or pmbg and possible get a second test 3-4 hours after eating. If under 110 I would not necessarily get another test unless it happens both cycles. Are you feeding a +9 snack?

PM, yes … but AM, no. We have not been able to figure out how to use a timed feeder with him and my middle cat. It’s been tricky & I'm at work

Also, since I’ve been getting up at 5am to do a +9 snack he isn’t wanting to eat a lot for his AM meal at 8am. So I’ve been feeding him again at 10 and then a meal at 2pm. Would it be ok for a snack at 12pm? So small meals every 2 hours in the AM? And then he gets his PM meal at 8pm and a meal at 12am and a +9 snack at 5am
 
You can give snacks as often as he wants. Many free feed. You just want him to eat a snack around +9. Even +8 is fine as food brings the bg down 3-4 hours after eating with a functioning pancreas.
