Thanks so much Diane, I was so ready for a restful night before work and tested him before I crawled into bed... bam. I’m seriously concerned by this. Will do on the LC, I want to soften this drop.
Test him in about 30 minutes then
Will do. I’m trying to tell himself that his hypo happened at a much lower PS and much more insulin, but I am so on edge.
That sounds more like it, could have been a bad reading. Don't feed him anything now and check him in an hour. I know his poor ears must be sore.
Ok that sounds good , he's probably fine. 2 hours sounds good
Very well could be! Hi Whitney.
Morning Whitney or should I say Zombie lol
It's never been left out for longer than it takes me to draw it up, go give him his shot, then come back and put it in the fridge
I honestly wish that had been the case because at least then I'd have a reason for why it's suddenly affecting him so strongly, ugh. I will definitely feel better with ketone testing, he's never had anything above a .3 and most recently a .1 (there was one .6 but I honestly think the strip had an error, I dropped it in the floor right before and hoped it would be okay since they're so expensive, it has never been that high again) but I'm nervous since he's had a sudden insulin reduction. The good news is he's eating and drinking super well and I know those two things combined with insulin are ketones' mortal enemy 
Thank you dear, that means so muchIts not only normal but to be expected! Youre still relatively new to all this. I would be more worried if you were cavalier about the whole hypo incident. Its going to be ok Whitney..
I feel like I am traumatized by it, I keep reliving being so happy go lucky Saturday around lunchtime and testing Joe and seeing that first 48 on his glucometer... UGH. I wish I just would've given him less insulin but I looked at how he'd reacted before and how well he'd done... so many "what ifs."
For what it's worth, numbers in the high 40's are perfectly normal blood sugar numbers for non diabetic cats. Got one here like that. We don't want cats on insulin down that low, so we take action when a cat is in the 40's. You did great with that long stretch of green a couple days ago - food and testing are your tools to keep him safe. Once you've gotten over the trauma of Saturday, I expect you'll need to increase some more.
So sorry I missed your post, Wendy! Thank you so much for your message, that really means a lot to me <3 It was super scary and I am definitely still shaky lol, especially since I am still a bit unsure of what his numbers are doing right now. I'm hopeful that once we are farther removed from the event, his numbers and his reaction to his insulin will make a bit more sense again.
