I finally got a fasting preshot test for Buddy this morning and it's a bit concerning: 181.

That's after about 8 hours of not eating. And he's also not super hungry this morning. The food's been out for an hour and he's only had a few bites. He seems to be well otherwise. Normal, largish pee first thing. And ran around outside. He is siiting next to the food plate right now as if he's waiting for another option. He hasn't had the Tiki pork in a while.

I'll test throught the day, but that number is not an acceptable one for OTJ trial right?
 
Let’s hope it’s a one off. Has he ever had pancreatitis? When Max first got it he be ame inappetent. It was gradual. Acting hungry but eating less we’re his first signs. He would lick the gravy off his food but not eat. Has this ever happened before?
 
He's eating now. I think it was a matter of not liking the Tiki pork. I gave him something else and that was acceptable. A month ago he was so hungry anything I put down would be vacuumed up. Now Mr. has the luxury of being picky.

He used to just lick the gravy but that was pre-insulin. When he was undiagnosed. He just went for the gravy and the dry food. Little carb addict.

He hasn't had pancreatitis to my knowledge. But I haven't even had him inside for a full year yet. Who knows what he had to deal with as a feral. I know he was very sickly on occasion, but I wasn't able to handle or trap him at the time.

I'll test in 3 hours and report back.
