BG : 66.6 mg/dl

(I already gave him a little bit of honey. Behavior still normal)
 
You gave the insulin about one hour ago. Yes, your vet is right. It does act fast. The part that can be a problem is that its biggest effect won't be happening for a couple of hours. Your kitty's BG is dropping and can drop a lot more before he gets to that point.

Please test BG every 15 minutes for now and post here as soon as you are finished. Do you have any canned cat food that has gravy or sauce in it? That can be useful instead of always giving honey. Honey acts fast but doesn't stay long. The gravy has starch in it and acts longer. Dry kibble is good too but takes longer to take effect. If the BG is falling too fast, you'll have to give very small amounts of high carb gravy to help keep it from going too low. Not too much at once because you want him to keep having an appetite for gravy. We call this process "steering" the BG with food.

So:
1. test BG every 15 minutes
2. post here
3. wait for advice from me or someone else who's watching.

Please do the rest of your posts on the 911 thread that Capoo started for you on the main health forum. More people will see it there and you'll get more helpers. In my post above I gave you instructions and asked you to post on this thread. Please post on the 911 thread instead.
