Hi everybody!

I've been lurking and cheering on everyone's progress and OTJ parties. This process works!

Since Ben has been OTJ for some time, I have been checking his BG about every month. He has been doing great in the greens. Yesterday I checked and it was 118. This morning it was 127. I believe it was more or less a fasting number, although I can't be 100% sure. (I had left some MC out for Squirrel, which I have been doing for months with no ill effect. She has CKD and is skinny and not wanting to eat.)

Seeing my boy in blue has me really worried. I've been feeding him the same Weruva. He is behaving basically the same. The only thing that has changed is the weather. It has gotten cold here in South Texas ("cold"=in the 40s and high 30s) as well as a little drizzly. He is an indoor cat, but the house is chilly, maybe 64 degrees or so. (Normally it is about 70.) Is it possible that the cooler temps have raised his BG?

To add to the picture, his wonderful vet has moved away and I'll need to get a new one.

Any thoughts are welcome.
 
I’m glad all has been going well. I would starting getting an Ambg and pmbg every day for the next several days. I’d start testing 3-4 hours after a Ambg and pmbg if blue and not let him eat. You might need to pick up food 2 hours before or separate them. The main reason cats go out of remission is need of a dental or infection. So if this is a trend or the bg goes up a vet visit is needed. Hopefully it’s because he’s been eating the mc and the bg will be green on the second test.
 
OK, thanks Elise, I will do that. I will also try to get a vet visit in before the Thanksgiving holiday, if I can. If he does have an infection of some kind, what is the likelihood that he will go back into remission if/when it is resolved? I'm just worried that a bad process has been unleashed but I don't know if that is how it works.
 
It’s hard to say. You have caught this early if that’s the case so no reason to think he will not go back into remission. He might not even be out of remission if his BG was food influenced. Any symptoms? Acting like normal in all respects?
 
He's pretty normal as far as I can tell. Now I'm mentally picking apart everything he has been doing, down to his facial expressions, but he's pretty much himself.
