I didn't give him insulin, not sure if it was too low but he hadnt eaten yet when i took it. is it normally supposed to be this low for the AMPS because i noticed my PMPS was higher.
11/8 Lucifer AMPS 140

Have you fed yet? Can you get another test?

Was he recently switched to a low carb diet? If yes, how many days back?
And did he get food last night after his shot? Numbers can keep dropping without food.

yes we switched to lowcarb a around two weeks ago. We give his shot while/after he eats so he definitely had food in him. his food bowl was empty this morning too so i am 100% sure he ate.

my mom said we should give him the .25 dose because the reading was probably affected by his food. I'm going to monitor him incase this was a bad choice. im worried about his ears 
he hates having them pricked for the BG monitor

we are going to check again +3 if we notice any symptoms we'll check sooner.

Maybe start with a +2ish?
I'd offer some food, a teaspoon or two , to get him to eat a bit.

95 now, should I give him the med/high carb food? or should I wait and test again in another hour? No hypo symptoms, acting normal

Go easy on the carbs and honey. Normally you reach for honey when you find that high carb food isn't enough to bring numbers up. He flattened out between +2 and +3 with MC, so you didn't need more carbs.
Greens can be very scary at first, but they're the range in which the pancreas heal.

, i was kinda scared so i definitely overdid it a little. what does the pancreas thing mean?

When a cat spends time in the normal range on insulin, the pancreas get a break (since the insulin is doing the work) and get a chance to heal and for the beta cells to recover/regenerate.
