12/13 Day 6 OTJ success, but...

[Joyce and Kallie]

I am still getting low blood sugar numbers of 46. Actually, I tend to get a lower number, but when I recheck with a larger pool of blood I get 46.

I am feeding her canned food with 4% carbs. I mixed some higher carb canned food this morning after a reading of 46 and she got fed 6 hours later (only the 4% carb food). Yet, still her blood sugar was 46 PMPS.

You know, I can’t even think. So, if a can of food has 167 calories and 4% carbs, but I only give her 1/4 of the can for a small meal, is she really getting a full 4% carbs?

46 is a good number. No need for high carb food. A cat not on insulin cannot hypo. Stick with the low carbs.

Nice numbers!! Hopefully she’ll keep giving you those nice greens- NO lime!! Safe surfing!!

She's getting the same percent carbs. The percentage of carbs doesn't change no matter how much you feed your kitty. The difference is the calories. If you fed 1 oz vs 3 oz the percent of carbs is the same but the number of calories varies depending on the amount you're feeding.

And your cat won't be hypoglycemic without insulin.
