Well, that's an increase, so very good news. Time to sweat less.
I'd personally (knowing how my cat responds slowly to sugar when she's really low) probably wait to see what the 30 minute results look like in a few more minutes and then if it's not up around 60 or so then, maybe give a bit more. I'm not giving that advice as anyone with a ton of experience with treating hypos though, so if anyone has different advice, go with that.

Look at Charlie! congrats on the reduction too! I would continue to test every 20 minutes max while in the 40s and continue small tsp of hc until above 50 if it were my cat. I hope someone else will chime in, but thats what I would do. And youre doing great Darin!

I see the +2 is 75, but he still has a way to go til nadir and that prob is carb spike. I would keep testing til you see 2 rising #s without food.

He may not need hc unless he drops below 50, but a couple tsp of reg lc might be enough for him to surf greens and not spike him too much. Its up to you, I know in the beginning I carbed mine up too much! But you need him to be safe first and foremost.

Hopefully that will get him up enough! sometimes just the gravy from hc will work because you dont want to fill him up with food in case you need to keep him going for awhile longer. great job!

Hrmmm, I think our kitties are drinking the same water. Last time Charlie earned a reduction, so did Skooter, and look what happened again!
Hopefully both Charlie and Skooter decide to start coming on up here!

Yes, the carbs are in the gravy. I sometimes push out just the gravy to give to Max. It can take up to 30 minutes for the food to cause a spike with some cats. I sometimes add a couple of drops of karo to the hc if I don't see enough of a rise if Max is in the 40's.
