Can u tell me when should I use a medium carb or high carb … obviously I know when she’s low but if u guys could give sum numbers … like between 3-5 is med and under 3 is high carb … something like that ! I will make a poster for fudge with all important info so next time I won’t be sooo freaked out and have all info on hand .

There is no hard and fast rule. It depends on when in the cycle the low number occurs and how carb sensitive Money is. The latter is something you will understand over time.
Some things to keep in mind (and @PerfumedCatMom will fill in whatever I miss ) :
(a) Better to feed higher carbs earlier in the cycle and switch to lower carbs later
(b) If there is a big drop or a lower number early on in the cycle (+1, +2, or even +3 - if your cat has a late nadir), you want to feed higher carbs to prevent a drop below 50 (2.8) later in the cyle. Depending on how early and how low that drop is, you feed HC or MC.
(c) A drop below 50 (2.8) means higher carb.

Didn't understand the question!

Didn't understand the question![/QUOT
At what low number should I start to give a HC food ..like yesterday she was 54 I gave her HC . So anything below 60 or should I leave her get lower before giving a tbsp ….? Not sure if I’m explaining good …!? brain isn’t 100% today lol

at what number do I start giving HC food ?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I see she is flat at +2, feed a little LC now and you can test at +4. Can hop out to buy what you need

So, less than 10% carbs is LC, 10-15% is MC and >15% is HC. I think what you gave last night was MC.

When you see a drop like you did early in the cycle, you feed a little MC - just a tsp - to prevent her from dipping below 2.8 later in the cycle.
